Description

The discovery of the resting place of the great Egyptian Pharaoh 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.

After the long search for the tomb and its initial discovery and excavation (Volume 1), and after the discovery of the king’s resting place and body (Volume 2), the third and final volume of Howard Carter’s account sees him reach the treasury, full of the incredible riches that the Pharaoh had sought to take with him to the world beyond and which had seemed lost to time before Carter’s historic discovery.

Now available in the Bloomsbury Revelations series, the book includes over 150 photographs of the treasury and its contents.
