Ever since Howard Carter uncovered King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, the young pharaoh has become a symbol of the wealth and mystery of ancient Egypt. Now, a two-and-a-half-year-long museum exhibit of Tut’s treasures is touring major cities in the U.S., drawing record crowds. This Who Was . . . ? is complete with 100 black-andwhite illustrations and explains the life and times of this ancient Egyptian ruler, covering the story of the tomb’s discovery, as well as myths and so-called mummy curses.

I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend. It is a brief but information-packed book in the acclaimed "Who Was..." series geared toward children. The author provides information on Tutankhamun's life, including facts on his birth in roughly 1341 BC and his young death in 1323 BC.
