Product Description
Product Description
The tomb of Tutankhamun (Tut.ankh.Amen), uncovered by the fifth Earl of Carnarvon and Howard Carter in November 1922, was the greatest archaeological find the world has ever seen. Though superficially plundered by thieves in antiquity, the burial remained intact, surrounded by a mass of funerary equipment arranged in three peripheral chambers. "The Tomb of Tut.ankh.Amen: The Burial Chamber" was originally published in 1927 as the second volume of Carter's trilogy. It records the work of the second and third seasons at the tomb: the opening of the four protective shrines; the discovery within of Tutankhamun's quartz-sandstone sarcophagus; the extraction of the king's three anthropoid coffins (the innermost of solid gold); and the final examination of the pharaoh's mummy.
About the Author
Howard Carter (1874-1939), artist and archaeologist, was attached to various epigraphic expeditions of the Egypt Exploration Fund, later joining the Egyptian Antiquities Service as Chief Inspector of Upper Egypt and finally working as excavator for Lord Carnarvon.

Tomb of Tut.Ankh.Amen: The Burial Chamber, July 2 2006
By Randall R. Brachmann - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tomb of Tut Ankh Amen Vol. 2 (Paperback)
If your a serious fan of King Tut and Egyptology, this book is a must. Part II of Howard Carter's three part series, it gives execellent detail on the excavation of the tomb and everything that goes on around it. It will give you a greater appreciation of just what went into the original discovery and it's preservation. Learn more about what we now take for granted.
