Book Description

Publication Date: August 18, 2008 | Age Level: 7 and up | Grade Level: 2 and up | Series: What's So Great About?

At age nine, Tutankhamen became pharaoh, ruler of Egypt. His most important act was to reestablish his people s religion of multiple gods. Before age twenty, he was dead. For over three thousand years, Egypt s desert sand hid the tomb of Tutankhamen, and Egyptians forgot about the ancient king. Then, in 1922, archaeologist Howard Carter found a door buried in the sand. It led to the greatest ancient Egyptian treasure ever found. Tutankhamen didn t have time to become a great pharaoh, but his tomb is a modern treasure, but not just for its gold and jewels, but for the stories it holds about ancient Egypt.
