中文简介：

1922年11月4日，卡纳冯勋爵资助英国考古学家霍华德·卡特率领考古队在埃及帝王谷发现了古埃及法老图坦卡蒙陵墓的入口，震惊世界。随着消息的传播、宝藏图片的流传，这位曾经默默无闻的法老吸引了整个世界的想象。

一百年后，图坦卡蒙墓及其宝藏一直在人们的想象中占有一席之地。科学研究已经向前发展，成果令人印象深刻：墓穴的平面图和环境现在已经完全重新绘制；CT扫描和aDNA（古代DNA）已经开始揭示图坦卡蒙生前和死后的独特情况；对墓室的装饰墙已经有了非常准确的记录；我们终于拥有了法老财产的高质量照片。今天，人们比以往任何时候都更容易接触到卡纳冯和卡特的非凡发现，而从这些更充分的证据中，人们又有了一个新的认识——这座墓葬和它的宝藏都是为别人准备的。

在这一新修订版中，埃及学家Nicholas Reeves从图坦卡蒙的时代背景、挖掘者的时代背景以及古墓的发现、考古、建筑和艺术等各个方面重新审视图坦卡蒙。如果说1922年的发现会让人惊奇，那么此后的发现则会让人惊讶。

英文简介：

On November 4, 1922, Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter's long search in Egypt's Valley of the Kings drew to a triumphant close: Tutankhamun's tomb had been found. As news of the discovery spread, and as images of the breathtaking treasures began to circulate, this once obscure pharaoh would capture the imagination of the entire world.

One hundred years later, both the fascination and the drama continue. Scientific research has moved on, and the results have been impressive:the tomb's ground-plan and setting are now fully remapped; CT-scanning and aDNA (ancient DNA) have begun to shed their unique light on Tutankhamun in life and in death; super-accurate recordings have been secured of the Burial Chamber's decorated walls; and we possess at last high-quality photography of Pharaoh's possessions. Access to Carnarvon and Carter's extraordinary find is greater today than it has ever been, and from this fuller evidence comes one new realization among many―that both the tomb and its treasures had been intended for someone else.

In the new, revised and expanded edition of his landmark book The Complete Tutankhamun Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves revisits Tutankhamun in the context of his time, the excavators in the context of theirs, and every aspect―old and new―of the tomb's discovery, archaeology, architecture and art. If what was found in 1922 would amaze, then what has been revealed since will simply astonish.
