On November 4th 1922 a breathless archaeologist, who had spent his life working in Egypt, wrote a hurried diary entry: “First steps of Tomb Found”. This was the very moment that Howard Carter found the entrance to the tomb of Tutankhamun. What lay within this tomb, how did the world react and what did it mean for Egyptology.

This is really without a doubt surely the greatest Tutankhamun documentary & the story of Howard carter’s discovery I’ve ever seen & I’ve seen many of them! The level of quality & every detail that I’ve just watched has been truly special & unforgettable it’s just an honour✨ Thank you for sharing this amazing story once again in such an incredible mesmerising beautiful way truly thanks!

What I love about the photos from the antechamber, at a glance, it looks like they could be photos of someone's garage or basement. It's arranged in that sort of organized chaos putting stuff wherever it fits. It gives it a really human touch to it all.

well, it was looted twice before carter discovered it

@noahfecks7598 20 күн бұрын

@@Dar1gaaz This is true, but I don't think the tomb robbers made off with too much. They found a few things here and there that looked rummaged through, but they assume that whoever tried looting the tomb was caught in the act and the break-in area was re-sealed.

So absolutely mesmorizing, transcendent and spiritual. Imagine for a moment that you found this tomb all alone. No one in the world knew a thing. Lanern lit, just staring at the glorious artifacts around you.

Great presentation, even though it is obviously a 'retweet' of a 2022 documentary. Thanks. I never realised just how good an artist & photographer Howard Carter was. Those images of the coffins, in their discovered state were breath-taking. Imagine someone, of today's World, having the patience & integrity to hold back, the urge to open the various coffins, whilst the necessary work, of documenting the detail, was carried out.

A history textbook in middle or high school (1980s/90s) had a brief blurb about the floral wreaths found on Tutankhamun. Reading that and realizing they had survived for thousands of years is one of the things that made me want to pursue archaeology as a profession.

An awe-inspiring moment frozen in time! This video takes us back to that historic instant when Howard Carter uncovered the steps leading into Tutankhamun's tomb. It's a testament to human curiosity and the relentless pursuit of discovery. Witnessing this pivotal moment is nothing short of mesmerizing, offering a glimpse into a world hidden for centuries beneath the sands of Egypt. Truly a treasure trove of history!

Best discovery ever,still uneducated people spreading rumours about his health.btw latest research showed his bloodline was not pure incest,his death was not of health issues.note:all kings heart were put in boxes with every organs seperate near his tomb.but king tut heart was never found,becoz he died on the battlefield,by the enemy chariot or was crushed when he felt from his coz when they researched on him properly his left side was crushed likely by impact of a chariot weel,his heart was crushed and could not be preserved.

Lets not forget that this wasnt just for historic or archeological value purely. It was mainly so the UK could get their hands on invaluable ancient artefacts that could be taken by the government and presented in their museums. Nothing of it will go to Egypt back in the days as British empire was colonizing every continent possible. The proceeds or prizes dont go to indigenous people of Egypt Most of these historians and their documentaries omit to mention any of it or pay respect to the LIVING people of Egypt.

@kylerolofson 21 күн бұрын

@@emptythoughts3060you may be right, but it's also very possible that if foreign archeologists didn't find artifacts when they did, Egyptian grave robbers may have taken them to the black market. In fact it's local grave robbers having looted every tomb before King Tut's was found that made the discovery so profound, no intact tomb had been found like that before. King Tut wasn't even that important. Looting by locals is what made the famous pharaoh's tombs lost forever.
