Bøger af Demi

After thirty-two centuries of lying hidden in the Egyptian Valley of the Kings, King TutankhamunΓÇÖs sacred, royal tomb was discovered by a British archaeologist, and TutΓÇÖs story became known throughout the world. Demi sets King TutankhamunΓÇÖs life in the context of the religious beliefs of his ancestors. Born to a pharoah who had the revolutionary idea that all of Egypt must worship only one god, Tut ascended the throne and restored religious freedom to the Upper and Lower kingdoms. He allowed his subjects to worship either the one god, Aten, of his father or the many shapes and forms of the sun god, Amun, whom they had worshiped since ancient times. Using research that includes the artifacts in King TutankhamunΓÇÖs tomb, Demi shares the rich details of the kingΓÇÖs life, from ostrich and lion hunts, to the challenges of ruling his Kingdom. DemiΓÇÖs storytelling skills and magnificent artwork, inspired by Egyptian line in paintings, architecture, sculpture, and jewelry, reveal the life of a remarkable king who has been watching us ΓÇ£across a span of more than 3, years.ΓÇ¥
