Lord Carnarvon ...The benefactor who was behind Carters work for 6 years. He was able with Carter to sneak into the tomb the day it was first opened...The fact that this was done was hidden to historians for years.








Howard Carter who was the discoverer of the tomb of Tutankhamun. He will forever be linked to the boy king...He is seen hear looking and working on the golden coffin of the king.












Lastly the body of the King Tutankhamun. The sad part was that the only Egyptian king found in his tomb was perhaps the poorest prepared body of them all. There was little left of him. He is in no where near the condition of Ramesses the second or Seti the first. The parts of him that survived where so preserved because they were concealed in gold. Therefore his head and neck, fingers, toes, penis were preserved best.


The next story in this blog will have a full account of the search and discovery of the tomb and the unknown story of the entering of the tomb by Carter, Carnarvon, and Lady Evelyn.
