About this audiobook

A child ascends a broken throne. Temples stand silent, the gods' names scarred from stone, and Egypt's borders feel the press of rivals. In Tutankhamun: The Living Image, the boy who began as Tutankhaten and became Tutankhamun carries a nation's need to believe again. Drawing on inscriptions, art, and modern medical analysis, this book follows the young pharaoh from the aftershocks of Amarna to the careful choreography of restoration. We meet Ay and Horemheb—the elder statesman and the general—who speak policy in the king's name; Ankhesenamun, the queen whose steadiness masks dynastic peril; and a court that learns to convert ritual into resilience. Here, Tutankhamun is neither a hollow mask nor a miracle worker; he is a necessary presence—fragile, visible, indispensable—around which Egypt ties its world back together.
