The Unknown Tutankhamun
Following the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, the story of the boy who became Pharaoh, died young, and was buried in splendor at the height of Egyptian civilization captivated generations. But there exists a wide discrepancy between that saga and what scholars have learned in the past few decades about the king's reign and its major significance for the history of Egypt. Marianne Eaton-Krauss, a leading authority on the boy king and the Amarna Period, guides readers through the recent findings of international research and the relevant documentation from a wide variety of sources, to create an accessible and comprehensive biography. Tracing Tutankhamun's life from birth to burial, s...

The Thrones, Chairs, Stools, and Footstools from the Tomb of Tutankhamun
This book publishes some of the most significant and frequently illustrated objects from Tutankhamun's tomb. His gold throne, which figured prominently in accounts of the tomb's discovery, and the less well-known inlaid ebony throne, have never left Egypt because they are too delicate to travel. The structure, decoration, and texts of these thrones and of two others are analysed. The rest of the book treats the remaining chairs, stools, and footstools found in the tomb. Notes on construction and scale drawings which the innovative German-English architect Walter Segal (1907-1985) made in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo in 1935 provide the point of departure for the book. M. Eaton-Krauss supplements his records with comparative material and her own observations, as well as description and analysis of the decoration and presentation of the texts. Harry Burton's photographic record made during the clearance of the tomb is supplemented by photographs taken by Segal and by the author.
The Sarcophagus in the Tomb of Tutankhamun
Almost 70 years after the lifting of the lid from the Sarcophagus, this book focuses on the monument. Following a detailed analysis of the sarcophagus's architecture and decoration, this book focuses on hitherto unrecognized evidence that the box was altered in antiquity, in all likelihood to adapt it to Tutankhamun from a previous owner. The list of possible candidates for the original ownership of the box is reviewed, with the balance of the evidence favouring Tutankhamun's immediate predecessor, his putative brother, Smenkhare. The text, which includes translation of and a commentary on the inscriptions, is illustrated by Harry Burton's photographs taken during the clearing of the tomb. The author is a specialist in the history, art history and archaeology of the reign of Tutankhamun.

The Small Golden Shrine from the Tomb of Tutankhamun
This reprint presents a tool for students of Egyptian chronology and historians of ancient Egypt in a more compact size, but still maintaining the clarity and the two-colour printing of the original edition. The volume, originally published by the Griffith Institute in commemoration of Sir Alan's 80th birthday, contains complete hieroglyphic transcription of a fragmentary document, the verso of which is of value for the reconstruction of the relative and absolute chronology of the first 17 Egyptian royal dynasties. The volume also contains the transcription of the Ramesside tax-lists on the recto of the papyrus. In addition to notes on palaeography and unplaced fragments there is a concordance on all 164 fragments.
Egyptology at the Dawn of the Twenty-first Century
This comprehensive three-volume set marks the publication of the proceedings of the Eighth International Congress of Egyptologists, held in Cairo in 2000, the largest Congress since the inaugural meeting in 1979. Organized thematically to reflect the breadth and depth of the material presented at this event, these papers provide a survey of current Egyptological research at the dawn of the twenty-first century. The proceedings include the eight Millennium Debates led by esteemed Egyptologists, addressing key issues in the field, as well as nearly every paper presented at the Congress. The 275 papers cover the whole spectrum of Egyptological research. Grouped under the themes of archaeology, history, religion, language, conservation, and museology, and written in English, French, and German, these contributions together form the most comprehensive picture of Egyptology today.

The Royal Women of Amarna
The move to a new capital, Akhenaten/Amarna, brought essential changes in the depictions of royal women. It was in their female imagery, above all, that the artists of Amarna departed from the traditional iconic representations to emphasize the individual, the natural, in a way unprecedented in Egyptian art.
