Bettany Hughes - official website - historian, author, broadcaster

Thanks for coming to our site. I hope it proves useful.

Over thirty years ago I sat and watched a programme on British television about Tutankhamen. I still remember the frisson - the realisation that the stories I'd heard; of boy-kings dripping in gold;of hidden burial chambers and court intrigue could, sometimes, be true.

That BBC documentary was inspirational. I've been fortunate enough to spend my adult life following my own research interests - and delight in being able to share the results with a wider public.

If you have any comments on any of our projects please do get in contact.

Enjoy!
