EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph, taken in 1922, Howard Carter and his team carefully remove items from the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb was a groundbreaking moment in archaeological history, as it was the first royal tomb to be found almost intact since the time of the pharaohs. The scene is illuminated by the warm glow of a lantern, casting an otherworldly light on the ancient artifacts. Carter, dressed in Victorian-era attire, wears a pith helmet and holds a small brush in one hand, delicately brushing away the sand and debris from an ornate golden artifact. His team members, also dressed in Edwardian clothing, work diligently around him, carefully removing other treasures from the tomb walls and sarcophagus. The air is thick with the dust and excitement of discovery. The team members' faces are etched with a mix of awe and determination, as they work to uncover the secrets of this ancient tomb. The intricately decorated artifacts, many of which are covered in gold and precious stones, are carefully wrapped and packaged for transport to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the early days of archaeological exploration in Egypt, and a testament to the importance of the discoveries made in the Valley of the Kings. The image captures the sense of wonder and discovery that surrounded the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of ancient Egypt. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online preserves this historic moment in time, allowing us to witness the excitement and importance of this archaeological discovery over 100 years later.
