Painted clothes chest, which lies at the foot of Tutankhamen's statue, Egypt, 1933-1934. Artist: Unknown

Painted clothes chest, which lies at the foot of Tutankhamen's statue, Egypt, 1933-1934. The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter (1874-1939) 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. A print from Wonders of the Past, Volume I, 1933-1934.
