Purchase options and add-ons

Buried in the 14th century BC but unearthed by Howard Carter in 1922, the objects entombed with Tutankhamun are an invaluable window into a long-extinct belief system. Seen today, they create an intricate picture of how the ancient Egyptian people viewed the perilous journey to paradise, a utopian Egypt that could only be entered following the final judgment.When acclaimed photographer Sandro Vannini started his work in Egypt in the late ’90s, a technological revolution was about to unfold. Emerging technologies enabled him to document murals, tombs, and artifacts in unprecedented detail. Using the time-consuming and strenuous multi-shot technique, Vannini produced complete photographic reproductions that revealed colors in their original tones with vivid intensity. Through these extraordinary images, we discover the objects’ quintessential features alongside the sophisticated and cleverly hidden details.This comprehensive guide marks the centenary of Carter’s first excavations in the Valley of the Kings. These inestimable works endure through Vannini's photographs in their full, timeless splendor. From offerings and rituals to Osiris and eternal life, Vannini’s portfolio covers all facets of ancient Egyptian culture—but it is Tutankhamun’s unique legacy that dominates these images. With texts by the photographer, captions by specialist Mohamed Megahed, and chapter introductions from scholars in the field, King Tut. The Journey through the Underworld puts much-debated mysteries to rest. The learned yet accessible forewords come from distinguished Egyptologists including Salima Ikram and David P. Silverman. Insightful narratives, resplendent images, and a contemporary standpoint make this title a fitting tribute to the Boy King’s odyssey, illuminating an epoch that spanned an unimaginable 4,000 years.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 40th Edition is not the original book size.
    Reviewed in Canada on November 8, 2022
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I saw this book in a shop and thought it was stunning as it has high quality colour images and readable text about the excavation, discovery, and findings in Tutankhamun's tomb. I wanted to buy the most recent edition to hopefully have the most up to date research but I didn't realize that Taschen has actually reduced the book size compared to the original, which is what I saw in the store.
    The 2018 version is the original size at 25.4 x 4.32 x 35.05 cm (almost quarto size) and 392 pages, while the 2020 (40th Ed) publication is 16.51 x 4.32 x 22.35 cm and 512 pages long (about royal octavo size),
    I wish I had read the details more carefully because I wanted the larger size.
    The quality of images and data presented is still the same, just at a reduced scale.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Attenzione alle dimensioni, comunque libro bellissimo.
    Reviewed in Italy on January 22, 2026
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    Arrivato in perfette condizioni. Il libro, che già conoscevo, è una meraviglia per qualità di contenuto/foto. Fate solo attenzione alle dimensioni ridotte del formato come riportato dal venditore nella descrizione dell’articolo. Purtroppo, conoscendo già il libro, e sapendo che il formato era di quelli grandi, non ho verificato e sono rimasta ovviamente delusa nel aver ricevuto un formato piccolo di cui non conoscevo l’esistenza. Avevo solo guardato le foto del venditore, quindi colpa mia. Mi ero stupita infatti del prezzo ‘contenuto’.

    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    Imperdível publicação da Taschen, ótimas fotos com detalhadas explicações de cada aspecto, físico e religioso, do processo fúnebre do rei Tut e outros, e do conceito da vida após a morte. Infelizmente, o que parece já ser uma rotina com a Amazon, o livro de capa dura veio com vários amassados nos cantos das capas. Lamentável, pois o acabamento da editora é muito bom. Indico. Paga -se mais caro que outras publicações, porém é muito completo, não dá nem para comparar.
