Leading Egyptologist Joyce Tyldesley's new book unwraps the story of the boy pharoah who captured the world's imagination.
Tutankhamun inherited the pharonic throne age eight years old. His intact tomb was discovered to great furore a hundred years ago this month, in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, by British archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter.
Tutankhamun is Egypt's most famous king.
His exhibitions draw huge crowds as it travels the world.
His appeal is perhaps summed up in the title of Joyce Tyldesley's book Tutankhamun: Pharaoh, Icon, Enigma.
She shares ten perspectives on the pharaoh's life, death and enduring legacy with Kathryn Ryan.
