The Shadow King by Jo Marchant
A vividly reported investigation of the discovery, treatment and scientific study of Tutankhamun’s mummy that follows early archaeologists, modern forensics and genetic analyses to show how a little-known boy-king became a global icon; it untangles conflicting theories about his life and death, exposes the influence of colonialism, nationalism and scientific ambition on research, and raises ethical questions about the handling, reconstruction and cultural afterlife of ancient human remains.
