Howard Carter





Content


'Egyptian Enigma' features Howard Carter telling the true story of one of the most remarkable archaeological discoveries of all time - the tomb of the 'Boy King', Tutankhamun.


Listen spellbound as he takes children on a journey into a world of 'wonderful things' not seen for over three thousand years.


But even in the 21st century mystery still surrounds the Boy King's death. Did he die of natural causes, was he killed in battle or was he murdered?


An Egyptian 'whodunnit' for the whole class to solve set against the backdrop of the awesome Egyptian civilisation.
