Publicado 2024-05-08

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  • I’m 35 and I’d cry if I get a chance to go to Tutankhamun tomb

    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!

  • @FINNIUSORION
    The inner coffin was solid gold? Was it one piece single cast? That would require so much heat in a controlled environment and huge molds.

    I'm in Alberta Canada and am so incredibly jealous but grateful to be shown such beauty with such informed care and respect

    Great episode. The host reminded me of Gordon Ramsay if he was a historian.
