The Treasures Of Tutankhamun

Back in the first half of the 1960s I was a young boy. During that time my mother and I would take the Greyhound bus from Detroit, Michigan to Dayton, Ohio each summer to visit my aunt, uncle and cousin.

One summer they took us to the local museum where it was hosting an exhibit of the Egyptian boy king: Tutankhamun.

The exhibit featured all of the treasures found in his tomb nearly 60 years before. Most of the artifacts were made of pure gold including his death mask and sarcophagus.

I was mesmerized and amazed at the display. I didn’t want to leave the museum because I was so caught up in the display. I was fascinated by it. I still am today.

Publisher Thames & Hudson has compiled a small hardbound book: The Treasures Of Tutankhamun, containing stunning full-color photos of all of the objects I saw as a young boy (plus more) and archival photos of the discover of Tut’s tomb.

Accompanying the photos are descriptions of each object, a short history of their discovery and a family tree of Tut and more.

Printed on semi-gloss interior pages the photos pop and every detail is seen.

The cover features color photo of Tut’s mask that is embossed against a black background with gold title type and on the back of the book cover is a rear photo of the mask.

Take the time to look over this fascinating collection of photos and text and I’m positive, just like my young self, that you will be enthralled, drawn-in and fascinated with what you see and read.

John 16:33 - These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
