Discovery of the Tutankhamun Tomb
Archaology
Walking here, it's easy to understand why the tomb of Tutankhamun was hidden for so long. It was so hard to find. The entrance to his tomb is right in front of me now covered by this flat concrete roof. The entrance being just about here. Behind me is the later tomb to ramesses, the 6th. And when that was done, obviously, lots of limestone chippings and spoil would have been cascading right down here. Utterly burying obscuring Tutankhamun's tomb. It's thrilling now to retrace Carter's footsteps. Idiot. This is where it happened at magical moment. I can't have found the entrance to the tomb. He would have been tidied up a bit. Since his time, but nevertheless, still very exciting and down these few steps is the entrance of two itself. This is the first door. I can't have found the seals intact. He then does remove the rubble. And go down. Ascending passage as I am now. Can't have reached the second door, here it is. Also filled with rubble plastered over, seals intact, could have been his exciting, well, he then made a hole here. I suppose hope he begins hope they wouldn't see a sea of devastation, look through his little huddle and soar something made in turn back to caernarfon standing up there and say, I can see wonderful things. He realized the two had not been pillaged by robbers in antiquity. Much the vibe he saw in front of him, a series of great ritual couches gilded and heads chest down there, a great victory of artifacts bits of chariots were round. And over here, he came in and he was a wall since removed to rubble wall dividing this. The antechamber from the burial chamber and here we see the sarcophagus. On the coffins inside it, of course, in that, often if the young pharaoh's body.
