'Tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen Vol. 1' Summary
In November 1922, after years of searching, archaeologist Howard Carter stumbled upon a forgotten entrance in the Valley of the Kings. This entrance, seemingly untouched for millennia, led to the tomb of Tutankhamun, a young pharaoh of the 18th dynasty. Carter, along with his team, documented their journey into the tomb, meticulously recording their discoveries. The first volume of Carter's memoirs details the initial stages of exploration, from the clearing of the antechamber to the opening of the sealed door leading to the burial chamber. The book is a captivating blend of scientific observation and personal reflection, capturing the thrill of the discovery and the awe-inspiring beauty of the ancient artifacts that lay within. Carter's meticulous descriptions and vivid accounts offer a glimpse into the magnificence of the tomb and the mysteries that it held.Book Details
