The listing, The Tomb of Tutankhamen (7-16-7) has ended.
The Tomb of Tutankhamen by Howard Carter. The discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb in 1922 is a landmark in archaeological history and certainly the most important single find in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. The tomb of the boy king had lain unmolested by grave robbers for more than three thousand years. It yielded a treasure of unimagined magnificence, ranging from chariots, chairs and caskets to the great sepulchral shrine of "the Lord of the West". The author led the work of excavation. 238 pages, good condition hardcover w/DJ covered in plastic. 8" X 10". Contemporary photographs and 16 pages of color plates showing the treasures as they may be seen today. ISBN 052570101X.
