An account of the discovery of the tomb in the Valley of the Kings with diagrams, drawings, and reconstructions.
The story of the boy-king, buried in splendor at the height of Egyptian civilization; the determined quest for his tomb by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon; the unforeseen riches eventually revealed - these are ingredients unparalleled in the annals of archaeology. Yet for all the publicity at the time of the discovery and since - given added spice by the linking of Carnarvon's early death with the legend of pharaoh's curse - it remains a story but partly told. Carter never produced a complete account of his excavations. The Tutankhamun exhibitions of the 1960s and 1970s generated a spate of popular books but none added significantly to what Carter had already published about the tomb. Only now can the whole story be told. -- Dust jacket.
