EDITORS COMMENTS
In November 1922, a momentous discovery was made in the ancient land of Egypt. English Egyptologist Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon embarked on an extraordinary journey as they entered the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun for the very first time. This illustration from 'Le Petit Journal' captures that historic moment. As they stepped into the dark depths of the tomb, Carter and Carnarvon were filled with anticipation and awe. Little did they know that what lay before them would unveil one of the greatest treasures in human history. The tomb revealed a vast collection of funerary objects, each intricately crafted to accompany Tutankhamun on his journey to the afterlife. This engraving by Anonymous beautifully depicts Carter and Carnarvon standing at the entrance, their figures illuminated by torchlight against the backdrop of ancient hieroglyphics. It serves as a testament to their dedication and perseverance in unraveling Egypt's rich past. The front page feature in 'Le Petit Journal' on February 11th, 1923 brought this groundbreaking discovery to light for readers across France. The image captured hearts and minds around the world, igniting a renewed fascination with ancient Egyptian culture. Today, this print stands as a reminder of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our origins and our relentless pursuit of knowledge through archaeology. It is a tribute to those who dedicate their lives to uncovering hidden secrets buried beneath layers of time.
