Alabaster vases, Tutankhamuns tomb, Egypt, 1933-1934
Alabaster vases, Tutankhamuns tomb, Egypt, 1933-1934. The discovery of Tutankhamuns tomb 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. A print from Wonders of the Past, Volume I, 1933-1934

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite beauty of alabaster vases found within Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt. Dating back to the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt, these vases were discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter between 1933 and 1934. The significance of this discovery cannot be overstated. Tutankhamun was a pharaoh whose existence had been erased from historical records due to his connection with the heretical pharaoh Akhenaten. As a result, his tomb remained untouched by grave robbers for centuries, making it an unprecedented find. In this image, we witness a moment frozen in time - the revelation of burial goods that lay undisturbed for over three millennia. The interior of Tutankhamun's mausoleum is adorned with colorful artifacts that shed light on the opulence and grandeur of ancient Egyptian civilization. The location itself adds to the allure; nestled within the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, it is a testament to Egypt's rich archaeological heritage. This photograph not only showcases remarkable craftsmanship but also serves as a reminder of our fascination with uncovering secrets from our past. Captured by renowned photographer Harry Burton under Howard Carter's guidance, this print transports us back to an era when exploration and discovery captivated imaginations worldwide. It stands as a testament to human curiosity and reminds us that there are still mysteries waiting to be unraveled beneath layers of history.
