Respected Egyptologist Bob Brier, specialist in paleopathology and host of the Learning Channel’s acclaimed series\u003ci\u003e The Great Egyptians\u003c\/i\u003e, believes it can. Skillfully combining known historical events with evidence gathered by advanced technologies, Brier has re-created the suspenseful story of religious upheaval and political intrigue that likely resulted in the murder of the teenage king Tutankhamen. . . . Breathing life into old bones and artifacts, Brier examines all available evidence to arrive at ‘the most reasonable explanation for a tragic event,’ an explanation that, he says, is testable through the use of current technology on the mummified remains of the ancient king.”—\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e (starred review)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Brier's 3,000-year-old mystery steadily draws the reader into the curious and exotic world of Egyptology. . . . By the time you finish his intrigue-filled reconstruction of Tutankhamen’s world—which includes such elements as teenage love, religious heresy,  the Orwellian rewriting of history and the desperate pleas of a terrified queen—you risk coming to care a good deal about the young Pharaoh’s fate. . . . We can be grateful to Dr. Brier for showing that even a mystery dating to the fourteenth century B.C. is subject to engrossing examination.”—\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINCLUDES 16 PAGES OF PHOTOS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47025220813040,"sku":"9780425206904","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780425206904_p0.jpg?v=1763699658","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780425206904","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
