The mummys curse? A gold moon rose beyond the cliffs and lured the robbers from their lair as sunsets last light bled upon the sacred desert grave site where the boy king Tutankhamen lay surrounded by his treasure hoard protected by a curse some say as dangerous as a sharpened sword. Thus begins the strange unfolding of events encompassing one of the most remarkable archaeological discoveries of the twentieth century -- the tomb of King Tutankhamen. The breathtaking combination of John Franks narrative poem and Tom Pohrts illustrations brings a new dimension of suspense and excitement to this astonishing true story.
