La historia del hallazgo de la tumba de Tutankhamon narrada por el investigador que llevó a cabo su descubrimiento. So Tutankhamun (and Egypt) have always held a special place in my heart. So for be, being able to read about that first year of the discovery of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s tomb was just amazing for me. I also recently got to go to the King Tut exhibit at the California Science Center, which was utterly amazing (and partly why I read the book). This was a really well done book, and I’m so glad I read it. Review Two: I still really enjoyed reading this book. I think it’s absolutely fascinating and amazing that we are able to get into Howard Carter’s head (since he wrote this based on his notes) and see that first year after the discovery. Some of the information is and does feel a little dated, given when it was written and what we know now, but I still recommend this as a read This is, properly, only the first volume of Carter and Mace's account of the exploration of "Tut's" tomb, though this particular volume gives important background as to how the tomb was discovered and initially excavated. One of the other interesting aspects of the book is that it gives you a keen insight into the methods used to preserve very fragile artifacts, as of the early 1920s. I had started this book, put it aside, and then picked it up again, and read it in nearly one long session. Quite absorbing on a few different levels, and recommended. Originally written in 1923 as a series of articles by the archaeologist, Howard Carter, whose discovery made him famous. There are many black and white photos taken by Carter's crew, and modern color photos were added in 1972. This is an autobiographical account of the discovery along with Carter's hypotheses of how and why these objects were included in the tomb of a king whose name had been erased from the king list thousands of years earlier. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Howard Carter (1874-1939) was an English archaeologist and Egyptologist, now renowned for discovering the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun. Published between 1923 and 1933, this three-volume study contains Carter's detailed account of the sensational discovery, excavation and clearance of Tutankhamun's tomb and its treasures. The tomb was almost fully intact when discovered and remains the most complete burial discovered in the Valley of the Kings. Each volume of Carter's book is richly illustrated with over 100 photographs of the tomb and objects found in it, showing their original state and how they appeared after reconstruction. Carter's meticulous recording and conservation techniques are faithfully documented in his account, providing a vivid and engaging description of the work which occurred during the excavation of this famous site. Volume 3 describes the recording and conservation of objects in the Treasury and Annexe rooms and puts forward Carter's interpretation of their use. No library descriptions found. |
