This exhibition catalogue explores the treasures of Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings and the archaeological discoveries that transformed understanding of ancient Egyptian royal burial practices. It presents objects associated with the young pharaoh's burial, including funerary equipment, jewellery, sculptures and other grave goods, examining their artistic qualities, religious significance and role in Egyptian beliefs about death and the afterlife. Contributions by Egyptologists place the objects within the historical and cultural context of the New Kingdom, discussing the royal tomb, its contents and the preservation of its extraordinary assemblage. Rich illustrations and documentary material support the examination of the objects and the circumstances of their discovery. The volume accompanied the exhibition Tutankhamun: The Golden Beyond at the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany in Bonn, held from 4 November 2004 to 1 May 2005.
