Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. h/b 197 pages, condition is very good. This is the first book, since Tutankhamen's tomb was found just over half a century ago, to tell the full story of the richest discovery in archaeological history - the exhausting, barren years of search the astonishing find itself; and the stormy aftermath. The main characters in the tale were Lord Carnarvon, a one-time playboy who searched for a purpose in life after a near-fatal car accident, and Howard Carter, a taciturn, prickly bachelor who didn't have an old school tie to his name. In 1907 they became companions in adventure, and began an annual scouring of Upper Egypt. Carter was a self-taught Egyptologist and Carvarvon supplied the capital. In 1922, their funds and hopes running low, they agreed to one last dig-and literally struck gold. Their discovery was a sensation. Tutankhamen's tomb turned out to be a treasure chest: the coffin, for instance, weighing over a ton, was pure gold. It took Carter ten years just to empty the tomb of all that glistered-gold, silver and precious stones. 'Within a few days of the discovery, Carnarvon died, the first in a series of 'victims' claimed by an alleged mummy's curse. And as tourists descended on Egypt like a plague of old, Carter was driven half mad by the deaths, the clamour of the Press, and legal squabbles over ownership of the treasure. Tutankhamen, more than three thousand years after his death, was a major influence on the art, the fashions and the fads of the twenties. Other repercussions were more profound: discovery of the Pharaoh's tomb ignited controversy among biblical scholars who argued the relationship of Moses and the Exodus to the eighteenth dynasty of Egyptian kings.
