The Society for the Study of Ancient Egypt
I am delighted to announce that my next public lecture will be for the SSAE on October 12th.
In November 2022, we celebrated the centenary of the discovery of Tutankhamun’s 18th dynasty tomb. Howard Carter and his team unearthed a treasure trove, the likes of which the world had never seen. Due to the sheer volume of artefacts and the meticulous documentation efforts by Carter, the autopsy of Tutankhamun was not conducted until 1925. Over the years, Tutankhamun’s mummy has been examined on three additional occasions. What did the initial autopsy reveal? What insights have recent CT studies provided regarding Tutankhamun’s health, possible cause of death, and mummification techniques?

A huge thank you to editor Jeff Burzacott and the team at Nile! Please click on image below:
