和图坦卡蒙一起埋葬的文物是一扇通向灭绝已久的信仰体系的宝贵窗口，于公元前14世纪被埋，但在1922年被霍华德•卡特挖掘出来。从今天来看，它们展示了古埃及人如何看待这段通往天堂——一个乌托邦式的埃及，只有在最终判决后才能进入——的危险之旅。

当备受赞誉的摄影师桑德罗•范尼尼（Sandro Vannini）在90年代后期开始在埃及工作时，一场技术革命即将展开。新兴技术使他能够以空前的细节记录壁画，陵墓和文物。Vannini使用费时且费力的多重拍摄技术，制作出完整的照片复制品，以生动的强度展现了它们的原始色调中的色彩。通过这些非凡的图像，我们发现了这些物品的典型特征以及精致和被巧妙隐藏的细节。

这本全面的指南庆祝了卡特（Carter）在国王谷的首次发掘的一百周年。这些不可估量的作品在Vannini的摄影作品中历久弥新。从祭品和仪式到Osiris和永恒的生命，Vannini的作品集涵盖了古埃及文化的方方面面，但是，图坦卡蒙的独特遗才是这些图像的主角。通过这位摄影师的文字，专家穆罕默德•梅加希德（Mohamed Megahed）的说明，以及来自该领域的学者的章节介绍，《图塔卡蒙 穿越地下世界的旅程》解开了许多备受争议的谜团。学者撰写的通俗易懂的前言来自**的埃及学家，包括萨利玛•伊克拉姆（Salima Ikram）和大卫•西尔弗曼（David P. Silverman）。富有洞察力的叙事，华丽的图像以及当代的立场照亮了一个难以想象的跨越4000年的时期。

READ MORE
Buried in the 14th century BC but unearthed by Howard Carter in 1922, the objects entombed with Tutankhamun are an invaluable window into a long-extinct belief system. Seen today, they create an intricate picture of how the ancient Egyptian people viewed the perilous journey to paradise, a utopian Egypt that could only be entered following the final judgment.

When acclaimed photographer Sandro Vannini started his work in Egypt in the late ’90s, a technological revolution was about to unfold. Emerging technologies enabled him to document murals, tombs, and artifacts in unprecedented detail. Using the time-consuming and strenuous multi-

shot technique, Vannini produced complete photographic reproductions that revealed colors in their original tones with vivid intensity. Through these extraordinary images, we discover the objects’ quintessential features alongside the sophisticated and cleverly hidden details.

This comprehensive guide marks the centenary of Carter’s first excavations in the Valley of the Kings. These inestimable works endure through Vannini's photographs in their full, timeless splendor. From offerings and rituals to Osiris and eternal life, Vannini’s portfolio covers all facets of ancient Egyptian culture—but it is Tutankhamun’s unique legacy that dominates these images. With texts by the photographer, captions by specialist Mohamed Megahed, and chapter introductions from scholars in the field, King Tut. The Journey through the Underworld puts much-debated mysteries to rest. The learned yet accessible forewords come from distinguished Egyptologists including Salima Ikram and David P. Silverman. Insightful narratives, resplendent images, and a contemporary standpoint make this title a fitting tribute to the Boy King’s odyssey, illuminating an epoch that spanned an unimaginable 4,000 years.
The photographer
Sandro Vannini started his career as a photographer in 1982, and today lives and works between Italy and Egypt. Active in the latter since 1997, and with special permission to access sites forbidden to the public, he has compiled an extensive visual archive of ancient Egyptian culture. Along the way, he first pioneered techniques that enable the use of leading digital photography in the extreme temperatures in the Valley of the Kings. Vannini’s photographs are among those assisting the work of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo in the restoration of artifacts. Since 2016, he has been directing and producing television programs and documentary series in collaboration with Zahi Hawass, and is also the author of several books.
