Twentieth post: The diary of Howard Carter (1922)
'There was naturally short suspense for those present who could not see, when Lord Carnarvon said to me `Can you see anything'. I replied to him Yes, it is wonderful. I then with precaution made the hole sufficiently large for both of us to see.'"
- Sunday, November 26, 1922.
The diary of Howard Carter in 1922 tells us the story of the discovery of the greatest tomb ever found in Egypt: Tutankhamun's (or King Tut, as some call him).
This journal is a magical window to a prime moment in 20th Century history, digitally preserved in this version thanks to the Griffith Institute in Oxford.
