Tutankhamun: Ultimate Activity Book: Ultamate Activity Book - Tapa dura

A book of activities and information based on King Tutankhamun, the most famous of all ancient Egyptian kings. Tutankhamun became king when he was only nine years old, and he died aged just eighteen. Tutankhamun’s tomb was found in 1922, unrobbed and filled with marvellous treasures. This book tells the amazing story of his life and death and the discovery of his tomb, and offers lots of fun things to do and make. Pull-out card pages and easy-to-follow instructions offer a wealth of Egyptian activities. Press out and make your own model of Tutankhamun’s tomb; play a Tutankhamun card game; press out and wear copies of royal Egyptian jewellery; find out how to make an Egyptian tunic; and write a letter in hieroglyphs.
