Tutankhamun's Egypt: 13: The Life and Times of Tutankhamun

on BBC Two England

Tonight's final programme of the series looks at the life and times of Tutankhamun himself. The discovery of his treasure-filled tomb made this King world-famous.
He is the one Ancient Egyptian that everyone has heard of. But paradoxically, the details of his life are harder to make out than those of many another, less well known pharaoh.
His was a short and not very glorious reign in a troubled time, and a lot of detective work has been needed to piece together the facts about him -as they are presented in tonight's programme.
Introduced by Cyril Aldred from the Tutankhamun Exhibition at the British Museum
