Descrizione : Title: The Tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen: Discovered by the Late Earl of Carnarvon and Howard Carter Author: Arthur Cruttenden Mace - Arthur Cruttenden Mace (1874 – 6 April 1928) was an English Egyptologist. [Courtesy Wikipedia.], Howard Carter - Howard Carter was an English archaeologist and Egyptologist who became world famous after discovering the intact tomb of 14th-century BC pharaoh Tutankhamun (colloquially known as King Tut and the boy king). Publisher: George H. Doran Company City: New York Year: 1923/1927 Printing Information: Signed Edition Binding Style: Hardcover Number of Volumes: 2 Full Set: No Width: 6.25 Height: 9 Book Details: KV62 is the standard Egyptological designation for the tomb of the young pharaoh Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings, now renowned for the wealth of valuable antiquities it contained. The tomb was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter, underneath the remains of workmen's huts built during the Ramesside Period, this explains why it was largely spared from desecration and from the tomb clearances at the end of the 20th Dynasty, although the tomb was robbed and resealed twice in the period after its completion. The tomb was densely packed with items in great disarray, partly due to its small size, the two robberies, and the apparently hurried nature of its completion. Due to the state of the tomb, and to Carter's meticulous recording technique, the tomb took eight years to empty, the contents all being transported to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
