Mannequin or bust of Tutankhamun being carried from his tomb, Valley of the Kings, Egypt, 1922
Mannequin or bust of Tutankhamun being carried from his tomb, Valley of the Kings, Egypt, 1922. The discovery of Tutankhamuns tomb in the Valley of the Kings 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 Tutankhamuns father-in-law. Consequently his tomb, uniquely, had remained undisturbed by grave robbers

EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print captures the historic moment when a mannequin or bust of Tutankhamun, the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, is carefully carried from his tomb in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. Taken in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter during his groundbreaking excavation, this image symbolizes one of the most remarkable discoveries in archaeological history. Tutankhamun's tomb had miraculously remained untouched by grave robbers for centuries due to his name being erased from historical records. This erasure was an attempt by one of his successors to eradicate any association with Tutankhamun's father-in-law, Akhenaten, who was considered a heretical pharaoh. As a result, when Carter stumbled upon this hidden burial site filled with treasures and artifacts that shed light on ancient Egyptian civilization, it became an unprecedented revelation. The photograph showcases men carefully carrying the mannequin or bust out of its resting place within the mausoleum. These soldiers of history are seen as guardians protecting and preserving Tutankhamun's legacy for future generations to admire and learn from. Today, this image serves as a powerful reminder of both Howard Carter's meticulous work as an archaeologist and Tutankhamun's significance as a previously unknown pharaoh whose story was almost lost to time. The discovery not only enriched our understanding of ancient Egypt but also captivated people worldwide with its tales of royalty and mystery.
