Stunning Rare Historical Photos of King Tutankhamun Tomb Excavation

Tomb of Tutankhamun in Stunning Rare Historical Photos

King Tutankhamun (reigned 1334-1325 BC). A pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Ancient Egypt in the Valley of the Kings. Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered in 1922 by excavators led by Howard Carter, financed by Lord Carnarvon.

The Antechamber was excavated in 1923-24 and work began on the burial chamber. Tutankhamun's coffins and mummy were opened & removed in 1925. Clearance and conservation work continued for several more years.

The staggering photos that follow are fully colorized versions of those taken during the excavation. They bring to life the entire process. Starting with the antechamber, the treasury, the burial chamber and the sarcophagus & mummy opening.

A constant debate continues as to the ethics and morality in these actions. As historians we marvel at the incredible knowledge gained, but can also fully understand those who say that these tombs, and those at rest within, should be left in peace. That is for you to decide where you stand.
