Spotlight Lecture: The Story of Tutankhamun
Показать описание
This Tuesday Spotlight lecture starts our wider theme of 'Tut-mania' will explore the legacy of the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb one hundred years ago in November 1922, as well as how this has impacted Egypt and Egyptology today.
Who was Tutankhamun, and what was his life really like? In this talk, Garry J Shaw presents Tutankhamun as a person, rather than as a distant god-king or a symbol of ancient Egypt. Using details from the boy king’s treasures and possessions – from a lock of his grandmother’s hair to a reed cut with his own hands – Shaw reveals the life of this enigmatic young king, and looks too at Ankhesenamun, Tutankhamun’s wife. The talk is based on Shaw’s new book, The Story of Tutankhamun: An Intimate Life of the Boy Who Became King (Yale University Press, 2022).
Dr Garry J Shaw is an author and journalist covering archaeology, history, and world heritage. He has a PhD in Egyptology and is the author of six books including The Pharaoh: Life at Court and on Campaign, The Egyptian Myths: A Guide to the Ancient Gods and Legends, and Egyptian Mythology.
