This book was written to try and get at the root of questions about the death of Egyptian pharaoh King Tut. If you're a fan of ancient Egyptian history, including the mystical pyramids (one of the great wonders of the world), you'll enjoy reading the scientific discussions of King Tut's DNA that are found in this bestselling book.
In this case, DNA was painstakingly extracted from the king's earthly remains and then studied by scientists, who drew conclusions that revealed some answers regarding his manner and cause of death. Forensic science, which is very popular due to TV programs such as Criminal Minds and the CSI series, is used in this work of literature, and it gives great insight into the life of times (and demise) of this ancient ruler. King Tut was buried with a king's ransom of gold, jewels, and priceless art - but why? If you're curious about the customs and spiritual beliefs that resulted in these massive and ornate royal graves, you'll love learning more about King Tut and his ancient burial chamber.
Spoilers hurt authors, so we're not inclined to reveal everything about this book here. However, it's safe to say that some of the queries regarding this ancient ruler's death are answered in detail, while others are left as is...as primitive mysteries that will probably always remain secrets.
Reading books about ancient history can be really fun, and they do spark the imagination. Most of us have imagined what it would be like to live in a different time, and we also may wonder how it would have felt to have absolute power over a culture or locality, as King Tut did during his dramatic lifetime. These sorts of books allow us to learn more details about ancient cultures, and to compare and contrast them with modern life.
