The 100th anniversary of the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb is a good time for a revaluation of the boy-king. This lecture surveys recent research on Tutankhamun and presents a picture of him, not as a fragile pharaoh who walked on the side of his foot, but rather as possibly a teenaged warrior. This slide lecture also discusses the claim that Carter stole objects from the tomb. Using previously unpublished letters, we suggest that more objects were taken than was previously believed.
Lecture will take place online on Saturday, November 19 at 2:00 pm ET
