Outside the tomb of Tutankhamun, Valley of the Kings, Egypt, 1922. Artist: Harry Burton

Outside the tomb of Tutankhamun, Valley of the Kings, Egypt, 1922. Lord Carnavon (1866-1923), his daughter Lady Evelyn Herbert, and archaeologist Howard Carter (1874-1939) at the entrance to the tomb. Lord Carnarvon was Carter's financial backer in his excavations in the Valley of the Kings. The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 was one of the most astounding discoveries in archaeology. Tutankhamun was a previously unknown pharaoh whose name had been eradicated from historical records by one of his successors because of his association with the heretical pharaoh Akhenaten, who was Tutankhamun's father-in-law. Consequently his tomb, uniquely, had remained undisturbed by grave robbers.
