Tutankhamun’s mummy equipment: wonderful and not so wonderful things

This comprehensive review of F. Haas Dantes’ Transformation eines Königs: eine Analyse der Ausstattung von Tutanchamuns Mumie (Basel, 2022) carefully assesses the analysis and accompanying catalogue of the more than 100 objects placed on the king’s mummy. It identifies strengths and weaknesses of the work and offers important additions. It concludes that the publication is a rich and stimulating source of information on the object corpus and religious beliefs of the Post-Amarna Period, but given its many inaccuracies and methodological flaws, critical use of the work is recommended.
