Out of Time: King Tut

Wed 01 Dec 2021

There wasn’t anything particularly special about the reign of Tutankhamun. He held the throne for barely a decade, dying before the age of twenty after he succumbed to what has been speculated to be a leg fracture sustained during a chariot accident. So why, more than three millennia after his death, does his name remain arguably the most well-known (rivalled only by Cleopatra) from Ancient Egyptian history? The answer lies in an expedition, funded by Nottingham estate owner Lord Carnarvon, to excavate his tomb in the twenties - an expedition that led to the mysterious deaths of many involved, including Carnarvon himself…
