Summary

"Brier illustrated the wide-ranging impact that the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb has had since its opening in 1922. It has influenced Egyptian politics; raised great sums of monies for museums around the world; and started endless debates on Tutankhamun's life as a warrior, the cause of his death, and more.
