| On November 26, 1922, Howard Carter looked through a
small opening that had been chipped in a 3000 year old wall
and saw the glittering chaos of the ante room of the Tomb of
Tutankhamun.
"Can you see anything,?"asked Lord Carnarvon.
"Yes, wonderful things," replied Carter.
The Tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings, Luxor,
Egypt is empty now except for the inner coffin and body of the
famous Pharaoh. He alone remains, of all the Pharaohs of
Egypt, in the Valley of the Kings. That is, if there are no
intact tombs to be discovered.
Right:
The objects that Carter saw when he looked into the
antechamber of the Tomb of Tutankhamun. |
