Tutankhamun and the Tomb that Changed the World with Dr. Bob Brier

It is often thought that the story of Tutankhamun ended when the thousands of dazzling items discovered by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon were transported to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and put on display. But there is far more to the boy-king's story. Tutankhamun and the Tomb that Changed the World explores the 100 years of research on Tutankhamun that have taken place since the tomb's discovery, from the several objects in the tomb made of meteoritic iron that came from outer space to new evidence that shows that Tutankhamun may actually have been a warrior who went into battle. Author Bob Brier also takes readers behind the scenes of the recent CT-scans of Tutankhamun's mummy to reveal more secrets of the young pharaoh.

Anything on ancient Egypt with Mr. Brier is ❤

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

We agree! Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@harveymiller2898]

Dr Briers enthusiasm for the topic of Egyptology is both palpable and infectious! I have read his previous publications on the Pharaoh Queen Hatshepsut and the detailed study is compelling. I look forward to purchasing his latest book on the boy king!

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

You'll love it! 🙂

[@stacie4170]

Indeed! His enthusiasm and knowledge inspired my already obsessive love with Ancient Egyptian history

[@JGrant_7217]

On Audible I listen to his Great Courses presentations, the passion he has for the topic is as you say infectious! I wish I could afford to go on one of his guided tours

[@ttestates1]

Hers as well!

[@TheLordofconfusion]

I wonder if dr. Brier would be interrested to do an updated course on egyptian history for the teaching company, since it is more then 20 years old at this point

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

That would be amazing.

[@maryannerazzo1737]

I agree!!

[@JDG602]

I love this guy I saw his lecture series on Ancient Egypt on Wondrium. This guy is really knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about Egypt.

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

He sure is. Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@starcapture3040]

Dr. Bob Brier is the best

Truly wish I had the funds to take one of his tours. Wonderful and amazing scholar and a very infectious man. God bless you Dr. Brier!

[@Anti-HyperStreams]

As soon as I saw the name in the email I got, I recognized it because I have the History of Egypt audio course he did for The Great Courses.

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Nice!

[@silviafusetti8789]

Happy reading! 🙂

[@george1la]

As always, he is the best.

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

We agree. Thanks for watching!

[@Ghost-rb5tg]

I remember reading about Howard Carter when I was in the fourth grade. I always held him in mind as a sort of real life Indiana Jones. How shocking to hear he also pilfered tombs! I think I need to buy Mr. Brier's book!

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

It's a fascinating read!

[@natewilson9774]

Amazing! Thank you for your work and research, Bob. What a great interview. I will be attending the new Houston Exhibit of Tutankhamen next week and observing everything in a new light. I have a new book to put at the top of my stack!

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Thanks, Nate! Enjoy the exhibition! 🙂

[@MariaVazquezGazmeySantiago]

Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@anthonyloos]

Fascinating!

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Thanks, Anthony! 🙂

[@glennmaillard5972]

I know of no actual letter from Ankhesenamun in the record. I know there is Hittite records of an Egyptian queen requesting a son. The letter is quoted, but no actual letter exists today. Nicholas Reeves mentioned the pleats. He suggested (from memory) that Carter may have done some exploratory work to see if there was anything behind the wall. Who knows what happened.

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

[@MariaVazquezGazmeySantiago]

Just the pure truth! The god of "dead" or the dead God? Still alive?

[@persianfantasy2070]

:O

[@davidcoleman2796]

The famous gold mask is not his , it has pierced ears therefore it was made for a woman . Up to 60 % of the stuff in the tomb wasn't made for him .

[@majscrap2629]

Why would they put used worn shoes in a tomb of a King to take to their afterlife?

[@TBT707]

many egyptians took their sacred items with them to the afterlife,im just speculating.maybe the shoes had some sort of value to him,or he needed them on his way in the afterlife! Just theories but ill do research on this.

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Simply because they belonged to him in the living world and meant something to him. 🙂

[@billionair4115]

Tutankhamun is Alexander the Macedonian. It explains everything that is wrong with the grave and the mummy.

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Interesting take, but the mummy proves otherwise.

[@billionair4115]

@@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia Octavian Augustus left his coat and a ring, those are visible on Carters original photos. Compare Philips grave cover to Tutankhamuns, Alexander grave descriptions are the same as Tutankhamuns and many other things, more than 200 coincidences.
