The Life and Legacy of Tutankhamun

As the exhibition ‘Tutankhamun: Excavating the Archive’ opens at the University of Oxford, in this episode Patrick Geoghegan discusses the impact of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun 100 years ago, debates the darker legacy of the pharaoh, and spotlights the overlooked Egyptians who contributed to the finding.
