Dr Reeves knows I am interested in the mask of Tutankhamun and kindly emailed me to say that his recent lecture at the Met Museum had been posted on YouTube. My thanks.

The lecture starts with an introduction to Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings, followed by a biography of Tutankhamun was we now understand it, illustrated by slides. Interestingly, Dr Reeves believes that Akhenaten was Tutankhamun's father and was buried in KV55.

[The Internet as slowed to a crawl with kids out of school when I was just 10 minutes in.  I will complete the review later when I have manage to watch this, but didn't wish to delay posting a video I know many people will enjoy - Kate]
