Was King Tut murdered, doomed by his own family, or cursed? Mind of Wonder walks through eight real mysteries of Tutankhamun, Egypt's teenage boy pharaoh, so you come away knowing what the evidence actually shows and where the legends begin.

We cover the crisis he inherited at nine years old, the family secret behind his birth, his final days, the fracture and malaria evidence, a surprisingly small tomb, Howard Carter's discovery in the Valley of the Kings, the golden mask, and the famous curse of the pharaoh. Where the evidence is uncertain, or a story is only a legend, we say so.
