Ever since Howard Carter uncovered King Tutankhamun 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 treasures is touring major cities in the U.S., drawing record crowds. This Who Was? book is complete with 100 black-and-white illustrations and explains the life and times of this ancient Egyptian ruler, covering the story of the tombs discovery, as well as myths and so-called mummy curses.
