Description

The Discovery of the Tomb of Tutankhamen by Howard Carter and A. C. Mace. 'November 4, 1922. For six seasons the legendary Valley of the Kings has yielded no secrets to Howard Carter and his archeological team: We had almost made up our minds that we were beaten, he writes, and were preparing to leave The Valley and try our luck elsewhere; and then -- hardly had we set hoe to ground in our last despairing effort than we made a discovery that far exceeded our wildest dreams. Join Howard Carter in his fascinating odyssey toward the most dramatic archeological find of the century -- the tomb of Tutankhamen. Written by Carter in 1923, only a year after the discovery, this book captures the overwhelming exhilaration of the find, the painstaking, step-by-step process of excavation, and the wonder of opening a treasure-filled inner chamber whose regal inhabitant had been dead for 3,000 years.'
