Christina Riggs

Elizabeth Frood, an Egyptology expert from Oxford, Christina Riggs, a visual culture scholar, and John Taylor, a curator at the British Museum, dive into the fascinating world of Tutankhamun. They discuss the dramatic 1922 discovery of his tomb and the subsequent media frenzy that transformed public perception of ancient Egypt. The conversation highlights the pivotal role of photography in archaeology, examines the legacies of Tutankhamun's royal family, and explores the ongoing cultural impact of his treasures on Egyptian identity and art today.
