The Tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen
Howard Carter
Book Overview:
On 26 November 1922, after eight years of work in the Valley of the Kings, archeologist Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen, a pharaoh of the 18th dynasty (around 1300 BCE). Different than all the tombs hitherto excavated, this was the first to be virtually undisturbed, and Carters words on a first look into the tomb "Yes, wonderful things!" have gone down in history.
Excavating the tomb in full took eight years, and most of the 5,398 items that were found in the tomb are now on display in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, with the exception of the mummy of Tut-Ankh-Amen that remained in the tomb where it was laid to rest.
This first volume of Howard Carter's memoirs, written in late 1923, recounts the finding and opening of the tomb, the clearing of the antechamber, and the opening of the sealed door leading to the burial chamber.

What an amazing book! This was a delight from start to finish...step by step through the discovery and preservation of the tomb. Howard Carter has a very engaging "voice" and you feel that you are discussing it over coffee with a learned friend. The wealth of detail in the artifacts, the preservatio
I was very excited when I found this book in a used book store. I'm very surprised I had never run across it before. This was my first non-fiction book of 2014.
I've had this book for decades and finally opened it up to find the brochure I got when I attended the showing of Treasurers of Tutankhamen at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in the spring of 1978.

Y maravilloso e interesante, para mi, ha sido leer el relato del descubrimiento de la tumba de Tutankhamón narrado en primera persona por Howard Carter. Que comienza con una descripción del Valle, de sus trabajos preliminares en Tebas cuando dio comie
AS much as I love my history and all things to do with Ancient Egypt, I was a little disappointed in this book for a few reasons. One, while I understand that it was written nearly a hundred years ago, I found Carter's style to be dry and boring in some areas, which made me feel tired while trying t
Howard Carter, famed archaeologist, discovered the Tomb of Tutankhamun (King Tut) in 1922 and wrote about the discovery expedition in this work. The discovery of King Tut's tomb was, and continues to be, sensationalized because the tomb was almost entirely intact. Only one set of grave robbers distu
