Thrust onto Egypt's most powerful throne at the age of nine, King Tut's reign was fiercely debated from the outset.

To this day, his death remains shrouded in controversy. The keys to an unsolved mystery. Enchanted by the ruler's tragic story and hoping to unlock the answers to the 3,000 year-old mystery, Howard Carter made it his life's mission to uncover the pharaoh's hidden tomb.
