This landmark catalogue chronicles the legendary collection of golden artefacts, jewelled caskets, ceremonial chariots, and sacred relics unearthed by Howard Carter in the Valley of the Kings — objects that lay undisturbed for over three thousand years within the tomb of Egypt's enigmatic boy-pharaoh. Produced to accompany the celebrated international travelling exhibition of the 1970s, the volume presents each treasure with scholarly precision and stunning photographic detail, illuminating the extraordinary artistry and religious symbolism of the Eighteenth Dynasty.\n\nBeyond its role as an exhibition catalogue, Treasures of Tutankhamun stands as a definitive cultural document of the twentieth century's most spectacular encounter with the ancient world. The text draws on decades of Egyptological research to situate each object within the broader context of New Kingdom royal ritual, funerary belief, and dynastic power — revealing a civilisation of staggering sophistication. Written with the authority of leading museum scholars and illustrated with photographs of rare intimacy, the book argues powerfully that these objects are not mere relics but living testaments to a lost world. For anyone captivated by the mysteries of ancient Egypt, the final question this volume poses is an irresistible one: what else might still lie buried beneath the sands?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203109200091,"sku":"2026200014975-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c30bee02-020d-47f0-a57c-ac46c9975a1e.png?v=1788143931","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014975-secondhand-treasures-of-tutankhamun","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
