EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment of the discovery of Pharaoh Tutankhamun's sarcophagus, still intact, in all its glory. The image is a lithograph illustration by A. Beltrame, featured in the "Courier Sunday" newspaper on February 24th, 1924. The scene depicts soldiers and archaeologists diligently digging through layers of ancient Egyptian soil to unveil this remarkable treasure. Their faces are illuminated by the soft glow of lanterns as they inspect the hieroglyph-covered walls surrounding the tomb. The air is thick with anticipation and excitement as they uncover one of Egypt's greatest archaeological finds. Lord Carnarvon, an English nobleman who financed Howard Carter's excavation work, stands tall among his team members. His eyes gleam with wonderment at what lies before them - a magnificent glimpse into Egypt's rich history. The intricate paintings adorning the sarcophagus shine brightly under careful inspection, revealing scenes from Tutankhamun's life and journey to the afterlife. This extraordinary find sends shockwaves throughout Britain and beyond as news spreads about this unparalleled discovery. Beltrame masterfully captures this pivotal moment in time with his detailed illustration that transports viewers back to early 20th century Luxor. Through his artistry, we are reminded of our fascination with ancient civilizations and their enduring legacies that continue to captivate us today.
