Carter Discovery Excavation Tomb Tutankhamuns 1923 January
EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic Step Cut in the Rock, an ancient entrance that played a pivotal role in the historic discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter in January 1923. Located in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt, the Step Cut is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the ancient Egyptians. The image, taken before the excavation began, shows the Step Cut in its raw, untouched state. The steep, narrow cut, carved into the sandstone, leads down into the darkness of the tomb, beckoning the adventurous spirit of Carter and his team. The steps, worn smooth by the passage of time and the feet of countless explorers, are a reminder of the long and rich history that lies beneath. The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, which remains one of the most significant archaeological finds in history, was a landmark moment in the field of Egyptology. Carter's work shed new light on the culture and customs of ancient Egypt, and the treasures found within the tomb have captivated the world's imagination ever since. This photograph, taken in December 1922, is a rare and important record of the entrance to the tomb as it appeared before the excavation began. It is a reminder of the sense of wonder and excitement that surrounded the discovery, and the enduring allure of the mysteries of the past."
