1866 Born Carnarvon Curse Died Discovery Excavations Explorations Howard Kings Shortly Sponsored Thebes Tomb Tombs Tutankhamens 1922 1923 Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of The Earl of Carnarvon, a pivotal figure in the history of Egyptology. Born in 1866, Carnarvon was the driving force behind the groundbreaking explorations in the Valley of the Kings. He famously sponsored Howard Carter's excavations of royal tombs in Thebes, which ultimately led to one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of all time - Tutankhamen's tomb.
Tragically, Carnarvon's life was cut short shortly after the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb in 1923, fueling speculation and perpetuating the enduring myth of The Curse of Tutankhamen. His untimely death only added to the mystique surrounding this remarkable chapter in history.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of Carnarvon's important contributions to our understanding of ancient Egypt and his role in uncovering some of its greatest treasures. It encapsulates both his passion for exploration and his lasting impact on archaeology.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when discovery and adventure went hand-in-hand, thanks to visionaries like The Earl of Carnarvon. His legacy lives on through this powerful visual representation captured by Rights Managed photography from Mary Evans Prints Online.
