Fragments Laboratory Robes Seti Temporary Throne Tomb Tutankhamun Tutankhamuns 1923
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken on February 17, 1923, captures the awe-inspiring interior of the tomb of Pharaoh Seti II, a significant archaeological discovery in the Valley of the Kings. The image, published in the 21st issue of The Illustrated London News, offers a rare glimpse into the temporary laboratory set up by Howard Carter and his team as they meticulously excavated and documented the tomb's treasures. The lab, filled with fragments of royal robes and the throne of Tutankhamun, underscores the intricate connection between the two pharaohs. Seti II, the father of Tutankhamun, ruled Egypt around 1279-1278 BC, while Tutankhamun's reign lasted from 1332-1323 BC. The presence of Tutankhamun's throne in Seti II's tomb suggests that Seti II may have usurped Tutankhamun's throne, a theory supported by some historians. The photograph's caption in the 7th issue of The Illustrated London News reads, "Interior of the Tomb of Seti II, showing the temporary laboratory with fragments of royal robes and Tutankhamun's throne." This photograph, a testament to the groundbreaking archaeological work of the early 20th century, continues to captivate audiences and fuel the fascination with ancient Egypt.
