Answer 1

In 1907, Carter was sought out by Lord Carnarvon, a distinguished collector, who promised funds for a private search for the elusive Tutankhamen. Carter searched for years for the lost pharaoh but without results, and Carnarvon was on the point of discontinuing the operation, when, in 1922, Carter found the entrance to a tomb. He telegraphed Carnarvon to come at once, hoping that this was indeed the resting place of Tutankhamen and not daring to enter without his patron being present.

When Carnarvon and his entourage eventually arrived, Carter made a breach in the doorway and, with the aid of a candle, saw a hoard of gold and ebony effects and two sentinel statues, guarding the entrance of what seemed to be a burial chamber.

Carter had to obtain permission from the Egyptian authorities before opening the burial chamber. Meanwhile he catalogued the contents of the antechamber. On 16th February 1923, Carter and Carnarvon, accompanied by Egyptian state officials, opened the sealed doorway and found the sarcophagus of Tutankhamen. It has been suggested, from sources in Carter’s notes, that Carter and his patron had taken a sneak preview of the burial chamber, feeling that their investment of effort and money entitled them to take the honour of the first peek at the tomb.

Carter catalogued and recorded the entire collection but, when he unwrapped the linen bandages of the mummy, the pharaoh’s skull fell away from the body and landed on the stone pavement, making a slight indent. Apart from this minor calamity, Carter ensured that the collection reached the safety of the National Egyptian Museum

Carter then retired from active archaeology and became a showman of Egyptology, touring the United States, giving illustrated lectures on his discoveries to large and attentive audiences. Carter died at the age of 64, giving the lie to the alleged ‘Curse of the mummy’s tomb’, and is buried in Putney Vale Cemetery. [Putney Vale Cemetery, Stag Lane, London, SW15 3DZ]
