“Refund was approved and back in my account the same day.” - Deliver+ customer
&lsquoBeautifully written, sumptuously illustrated, constantly fascinating&lsquo The TimesOn 26 November 1922 Howard Carter first peered into the newly opened tomb of an ancient Egyptian boyking. When asked if he could see anything, he replied &lsquoYes, yes, wonderful things.&rsquoIn Tutankhamun&rsquos Trumpet, acclaimed Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson takes a unique approach to that tomb and its contents. Instead of concentrating on the ofttold story of the discovery, or speculating on the brief life and politically fractious reign of the boy king, Wilkinson takes the objects buried with him as the source material for a wideranging, detailed portrait of ancient Egypt &ndash its geography, history, culture and legacy.One hundred artefacts from the tomb, arranged in ten thematic groups, are allowed to speak again &ndash not only for themselves, but as witnesses of the civilization that created them. Never before have the treasures of Tutankhamun been analysed and presented for what they can tell us about ancient Egyptian culture, its development, its remarkable flourishing, and its lasting impact.Filled with surprising insights, unusual details, vivid descriptions and, above all, remarkable objects, Tutankhamun&rsquos Trumpet will appeal to all lovers of history, archaeology, art and culture, as well as all those fascinated by the Egypt of the pharaohs.&lsquoI&rsquove read many books on ancient Egypt, but I&rsquove never felt closer to its people&lsquo The Sunday Times
