This is a fresh, and very interesting, perspective Egyptology in general, not just that relating to Tutankhamun. Though this book's subject relates, mostly, to Tutankhamun. Somewhat ironically, though the book rightly criticizes the West's co-opting of Egypt's history and archaeology, and the lamentable failure of Westerners to give proper credit to the Egyptians involved in Egyptology, this book itself gives proportionally short shrift to how Egyptians have themselves historically viewed and interacted with their own history and monuments. Which makes it a good critique of Western actions relating to both Egyptology and Tutankhamun, but still leaves Egyptian actions as to both mostly unexplored except where one can read between the lines of Western actions. I'd nevertheless highly recommend this book. ( )
