What was it like to grow up in the royal palace of ancient Egypt, and to become kingÑpharaoh!Ñat the age of nine? And then one day to wake up dead and trapped in a tomb for three thousand years with nothing to read and no one to talk to except a ba-bird, a cow-headed bed with personality problems, and a few gilded gods? Tutankhamun, the famous boy-king of ancient Egypt, is here to tell usÑin his own hieroglyphs.
From driving chariots and annoying his sisters at the palace to playing board games with miniature statues in his tomb, he describes the ups and downs of his short life and his very long afterlife, and how everything changed when Howard Carter found him and his magnificent treasures in 1922 and introduced himÑand his faithful but cheeky monkey, FingersÑto the modern world.
From the author of How I Became a Mummy, this colorful first-hand account of the life and times of EgyptÕs best-loved pharaoh will fascinate children and Egyptologists of all ages.
