    The Tairona civilization emerged in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, a mountainous region in present-day northern Colombia. This environment, with its dense forests, rivers, and proximity to the Caribbean coast, provided the resources necessary for the development of a complex society. The origins of the Tairona can be traced back to around 200 CE, when early communities began establishing settlements in the highlands and along the coast. These groups developed distinct cultural traditions that set them apart from other indigenous societies in the region. 
    Archaeological evidence suggests that the Tairona were part of the broader Chibchan linguistic and cultural family, which included other groups in Central America and northern South America. Their language and customs connected them to a vast network of indigenous peoples, yet they developed a unique identity characterized by their architectural achievements, goldsmithing skills, and intricate social structures. Unlike nomadic tribes, the Tairona built permanent settlements that evolved into thriving city-states. These cities were connected by a network of stone-paved roads, stairways, and terraces, showcasing an advanced understanding of engineering and urban planning. 
    The natural landscape played a crucial role in shaping the early Tairona civilization. The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta provided fertile land for agriculture, allowing them to cultivate maize, beans, and cassava. The coastal regions, on the other hand, gave them access to an abundance of marine resources, including fish and shellfish. This diversity of food sources enabled population growth and the expansion of settlements. Over time, the Tairona developed irrigation systems and terraced farming techniques to maximize agricultural production, ensuring food security for their communities.

    Today, Tutankhamen is the most famous of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs. After his death at the age of nineteen, "King Tut" was forgotten from history, until the discovery of his tomb in 1922 propelled him to worldwide fame. But the circumstances of his death remain shrouded in mystery . . . 
     
     
     
    X-rays of Tutankhamen's skull suggest a violent death. Was it accident or murder? Several members of his family died around the same time—was is coincidence? Why did Tutankhamen's widow send desperate messages to the Hittite king, requesting marriage to one of his sons? And who murdered the Hittite price on his journey to Egypt? Who ordered the removal of Tutankhamen's name from all monuments and temples, and thus from Egyptian history? 
     
     
     
    This fascinating, painstakingly researched book is the first to explore in depth the questionable circumstances of Tutankhamen's demise—and to present a shocking scenario of betrayal, ambition, and murder. In The Murder of Tutankhamen, renowned Egyptologist Bob Brier reveals an exciting journey into ancient history—and a 3,000 year-old mystery that still compels us today.
