The Murder of Tutankhamen by Bob Brier

5.0

I’ve always been fascinated with the story if King Tut and with Egypt. I blame that fascination on reading The Egypt Game in elementary school. This book was written a lot like a textbook but with just enough fictional flare to keep it interesting. I was absolutely appalled by the damage done to Tut’s mummy by Douglas Derry. I try to tell myself that he knew no better but urgh...the things we could have known!

Of course, we now know that Tut is not the young, fit king described here. It is questiined if he was even murdered but...I doubt we will ever know for sure. I look forward to finding some other books on Ancient Egypt that capture my attention.
