King Tut – What We Do and Don’t Know With Marianne Eaton-Krauss [Podcast]
PODCAST
In this installment of the Friends of ASOR podcast, I met with Egyptologist and author, Marianne Eaton-Krauss, to discuss King Tut and her upcoming book, The Unknown Tutankhamun — available mid-December, just in time for the holiday season. Eaton-Krauss was in Boston giving a lecture on the boy king hosted by the Harvard Semitic Museum. We sat down to talk over coffee and orange juice at South Station as Eaton-Krauss awaited her train back to D.C.
Marianne Eaton-Krauss is an Egyptologist who has taught at universities in Berlin, Muenster, and Marburg, Germany, and written more than 50 articles about Tutankhamun and the Amarna Period. Her publications on objects from the king’s tomb include, most recently, The Thrones, Chairs, Stools, and Footstools from the Tomb of Tutankhamun (2008).
