Join us for a tour of Highclere Castle, with the opportunity to explore the Egyptian Exhibition in the Castle cellars. Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now. To continue shopping, enter the characters as they are shown There are several writers currently hanging out the constant curios of this never ending story of King Tutankhamun and its various players, this book from Lord Carnarvon’s successors should be the most authoritative and accurate. But is it? I read an eARC that did not include illustrations, appendices, and any other supplemental information that may be added to the published version. I enjoyed the time the author spent sharing about how Highclere castle participated in the war effort. But overall, I was sorely disappointed with how little was written about the discovery of King Tut's tomb.

The Earl and the Pharaoh by The Countess of Carnarvon

The account of the discovery of the tomb is essentially a rehash of everything that most interested people already know about the event. Further to the above, I’ve now finished reading the bits that held interest for me, chiefly the Egypt connection which all told, covers about three or four chapters and has in my option, been better dealt with by other books on the subject.

More From the Same

I expected a book about the excavation of Tut's tomb based on this family's archives. It seems the author really wanted to dump information from the archive. It was terribly boring. Maybe readers who are interested in this particular family or Victorian aristocracy in general may like this more than I did. That would probably be a very narrow audience. I would not have chosen to read this book. Bestselling author the Countess of Carnarvon tells the thrilling behind-the-scenes story of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun on its centennial, and explores the unparalleled life of family ancestor George Herbert—the famed Egyptologist, world-traveler, and 5th Earl of Carnarvon behind it—whose country house, Highclere Castle, is the setting of the beloved series Downton Abbey. Such a disappointment. Introduced to Porchey & sister Margaret p4. I can only assume that Porchey is the 5th Earl, as his first name is not mentioned in the family tree, just their 4th, 5th earl titles.... Felt that was a little presumptive. And what was his actual name, not Porchey (that's only mentioned later). Inside the tomb, the explorers found King Tut’s sarcophagus and a treasure trove of astonishing artifacts: chariots and model boats, board games and paintings, a coffin made of pure gold. But these objects were more than just beautifully crafted works of art; they shed new light on Tutankhamun world and this fabled period of history, and changed our understanding of how the ancient Egyptians had lived–transforming overnight what had been formed through centuries of history and myth.
