Howard Carter at the entrance to Tutankhamuns tomb, Luxor, Egypt, 1922-1923
Howard Carter at the entrance to Tutankhamuns tomb, Luxor, Egypt, 1922-1923. The discovery of Tutankhamuns tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter (1874-1939) was one of the most astounding discoveries in archaeology. Tutankhamun was a previously unknown pharaoh whose name had been eradicated from historical records by one of his successors because of his association with the heretical pharaoh Akhenaten, who was Tutankhamuns father-in-law. Consequently his tomb, uniquely, had remained undisturbed by grave robbers

In this historic image, we witness a pivotal revelation in archaeology that left the world astounded. Howard Carter, a British archaeologist of great repute, made an extraordinary discovery in the Valley of the Kings. Tutankhamun, a previously unknown pharaoh whose name had been erased from historical records due to his connection with Akhenaten, his heretical father-in-law. This association led to Tutankhamun's burial site remaining untouched by grave robbers for centuries.

As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder of how one man's passion and perseverance can unveil astonishing revelations about our past.
