The discovery of the resting place of the great Egyptian King
Tutankhamun [Tut.ankh.Amen] in November 1922 by Howard Carter and
the fifth Earl of Carnarvon was the greatest archaeological find
the world had ever seen. Despite its plundering by thieves in
antiquity, the burial of the king lay intact with its nest of
coffins and funerary shrines, surrounded by a mass of burial
equipment arranged in three peripheral chambers. Published in 1923,
this is the first volume of Carter's trilogy, describing the years
of frustration in search of the burial site, the triumph of its
eventual discovery and the long, painstaking process of exploring
and cataloguing its treasures. Containing over 100 images from the
site itself, this volume also includes Carter's short article, 'The
Tomb of the Bird,' which inadvertently spawned the legend of the
great curse of Tutankhamun's tomb.
