Long ago the old texts of ancient Egypt alluded to scrolls in which King Tut spoke to the people from beyond the tomb…

But, Tutankhamen Speaks isn’t a story about the lost scrolls…

It’s about the story written down on those ancient scrolls: Tutankhamen’s story.

A Word from the Author

The story of King Tutankhamen has always interested me. More so since my visit to Egypt in 2008. Imagine the excitement surrounding that unthinkable find in the Valley of the Kings. I read how archeologists were never really sure that there was an unknown king buried there. Fascinated, I researched and discovered that Tutankhamen’s father was all but wiped out of Ancient Egyptian history by those coming after. Then I started thinking about the young boy who succeeded his unpopular father to govern the most advanced civilization of the time period. I wondered what the young Tutankhamen would say if I could talk with him today. What insights would he have into how his father ruled, what it was like to have the most beautiful woman in ancient Egypt as a stepmother, and how he felt about marrying his half sister. I had so many more questions to ask, and so, I asked and he answered my many questions.
