W. Norton & CompanyInStock/Ebooks/<p><strong>Marking the one hundredth anniversary of the discovery of Tutankhamuns magnificent tomb, its incredible treasures are revealed as never before.</strong></p><p>In 1922, after fifteen years of searching, archaeologists finally discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamun. There, buried alongside the kings mummy, they found more than 5,000 unique objects, from the mundane to the extravagant, from the precious to the everyday. Tutankhamuns spectacular gold mask is justifiably famous, but the rest of the treasures remain largely unknown, their stories untold.</p><p>In this rich and beautifully illustrated work of history, renowned Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson allows one hundred artifacts from the boy kings tomb to speak againnot only for themselves, but as witnesses of the civilization that created them. A gold-decorated chariot reveals the impressive scale of Egyptian technology. Loaves of bread, baskets of fruit, and jars of wine hint at the fertility of the Nile Valley and the abundant feasts enjoyed by its people. Ebony and ivory from Nubia and a jewel of Libyan desert glass show the range of Egypts trading and diplomatic networks. Shaving equipment and board games provide a window into the everyday lives of the people. And perhaps most poignant of all the objects in the tomb is one that conjures up a lost world of human experience: Tutankhamuns silver trumpet.</p><p>Through these treasures, Wilkinson bring us face-to-face with the culture of the pharaohs, its extraordinary development, its remarkable flourishing, and its lasting impact. Filled with surprising insights and vivid details, <em>Tutankhamuns Trumpet</em> offers an indelible portrait of the history, people, and legacy of ancient Egypt.</p>...1531110Tutankhamuns Trumpet: Ancient Egypt in 100 Objects from the Boy-Kings Tomb265368https://www.gandhi.com.mx/tutankhamun-s-trumpet-ancient-egypt-in-100-objects-from-the-boy-king-s-tomb/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1247323/da096883-3e14-4d22-90e4-b5359c2905eb.jpg?v=638810811657530000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20229780393531718_W3siaWQiOiI3ZWIxMjQxOS1hY2I1LTQ3MTUtOWE3Ny1lZjliYzkyM2E3NWEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjM2OCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjEwMywic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjoyNjUsImluY2x1ZGVzVGF4Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmljZVR5cGUiOiJXaG9sZXNhbGUiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6Ik1YTiIsImZyb20iOiIyMDI1LTA3LTAxVDAwOjAwOjAwWiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9XQ==9780393531718_<p><strong>Marking the one hundredth anniversary of the discovery of Tutankhamuns magnificent tomb, its incredible treasures are revealed as never before.</strong></p><p>In 1922, after fifteen years of searching, archaeologists finally discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamun.

Tutankhamuns spectacular gold mask is justifiably famous, but the rest of the treasures remain largely unknown.</p><p>In this rich and beautifully illustrated work of history, renowned Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson examines a civilization through the lens of the objects it most prized, from the precious (a ceremonial sickle, an ostrich-feather fan, a gold-decorated chariot) to the everyday (shaving equipment, a first-aid kit, loaves of bread). And perhaps most poignant of all the objects in the tomb is one that conjures up a lost world of human experience: Tutankhamuns silver trumpet. Wilkinson tells the stories of 100 such artifacts, creating an indelible portrait not just of Tutankhamun, but of the history, culture, and people of Ancient Egypt.</p>...9780393531718_W. W.
