We hope you enjoyed your FREE download of Tutankhamun and The Golden Age of the Pharaohs, narrated by Omar Sharif, brought to you by Antenna Audio and The Times.
King Tutankhamun ruled Egypt for just ten years, until his mysterious death at age nineteen. Yet today, his name is legendary. Why? Because his tomb, alone among the royal burial places, lay undiscovered for over three thousand years. In 1922, when it was reopened, many of its amazing treasures were found intact. This series produced by Antenna Audio will introduce you to some of those treasures and give you a unique insight into the circumstances of his death.
This FREE promotion for readers of The Times and TimesOnline lasts all week with a different audio download available each day, so don’t forget to check back tomorrow for another chance to discover more about this iconic ancient King.
