Toon carmon was a young pharaoh who ruled over ancient egypt. The contents of his tomb are dazzling, but what about the boy king buried with them? Has the glint of gold blinded us to the historical reality and led us to overstate this young pharaoh's importance?

And the first voice you'll hear after mine is aden.
