Description: ref 056 This beautiful, exquisitely photographed book takes you on a step-by-step tour through the lavish funerary chambers of Tutankhamun, a pharaoh who lived during one of the most splendid periods of ancient Egypt. A "must" for anyone interested in history, Egyptology, or fine art. You could spend hours reading the information and exploring the photos not only of the masterpieces that were displayed in the "Treasures of Tutankhamun" exhibitions around the USA in 1976-1979, but also of many exquisite objects that were too delicate or too large to send to America. The Metropolitan Museum of Art sent photographers to Egypt to take 100 full-color contemporary photographs, plus the book contains 103 black and white images taken by Harry Burton as the tomb was originally explored. 9x12, 256 pages, gilt decorated hard cover. Please SEE THE PHOTOS to evaluate its condition. Note there may be some bright spots in the photos caused by glare from the studio lights. Your purchase benefits the Contra Costa County Historical Society. Thank you for your support! Ref 056
