Tutankhamun - Want It All

Tutankhamun

After thirty-two centuries of lying hidden in the Egyptian Valley of the Kings, King Tutankhamunâ€™s sacred, royal tomb was discovered by a British archaeologist, and Tutâ€™s story became known throughout the world. Demi sets King Tutankhamunâ€™s life in the context of the religious beliefs of his ancestors.

Born to a pharaoh who had the revolutionary idea that all of Egypt must worship only one god, Tut ascended the throne and restored religious freedom to the Upper and Lower kingdoms. He allowed his subjects to worship either the one god, Aten, of his father or the many shapes and forms of the sun god, Amun, whom they had worshiped since ancient times.

Using research that includes the artifacts in King Tutankhamunâ€™s tomb, Demi shares the rich details of the kingâ€™s life, from ostrich to lion hunts, to the challenges of ruling his Kingdom. Demiâ€™s storytelling skills and magnificent artwork, inspired by Egyptian line in paintings, architecture, sculpture, and jewelry, reveal the life of a remarkable king who has been watching us "across a span of more than 3,000 years."
