Tutankhamun! What does the evidence tell us?

Special Event | Updated 1 decade ago

A National Science Week Special Lecture by Heather Tunmore
2.00 pm – 3.30 pm (including light refreshments).

'Can you see anything?’ asked Lord Carnarvon as Howard Carter peeped into the newly opened tomb in 1922. 'Yes, wonderful things' he replied. Now nearly 90 years later, Tutankhamun is inspiring visitors to Melbourne Museum’s Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs.

Heather Tunmore, Honorary Associate of the Western Australian Museum, and member of Michigan University’s Abydos Middle Cemetery Project will discuss who Tutankhamun really was and the various pieces of evidence about his life, his death and his ancestors. Find out how science has been used to shed light on his identity.
