Book
Reprint. Near fine paperback copy; edges very slightly dust-dulled and nicked. Remains particularly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, and clean. Physical description: xlv, 231 p., [54] leaves of plates: ill. ; 22 cm. Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary: November 4, 1922. For six seasons, the legendary Valley of the Kings has yielded no secrets to Howard Carter and his archeological team: "We had almost made up our minds that we were beaten," he writes, "and were preparing to leave The Valley and try our luck elsewhere; and then -- hardly had we set hoe to ground in our last despairing effort than we made a discovery that far exceeded our wildest dreams." Join Howard Carter in his odyssey toward the most dramatic archeological find of the century -- the tomb of Tutankhamen. Written by Carter in 1923, only a year after the discovery, this book captures the overwhelming exhilaration of the find, the painstaking, step-by-step process of excavation, and the wonder of opening a treasure-filled inner chamber whose regal inhabitant had been dead for 3,000 years. 104 on-the-spot photographs chronicle the phases of the discovery and the scrupulous cataloging of the treasures. The opening chapters discuss the life of Tutankhamen and earlier archeological work in the Valley of the Kings. An appendix contains fully captioned photographs of the objects obtained from the tomb. A new preface by Jon Manchip White adds information on Carter's career, recent opinions on Tutankhamen's reign, and the importance of Carter's discovery to Egyptologists. Subjects: Tutankhamen King of Egypt Tomb. Carter, Howard 1874-1939. Carnarvon, George Edward Stanhope Molyneux Herbert Earl of 1866-1923. Excavations (Archaeology) Egypt. Egypt Antiquities. Genre: Bibliography. Illustrated. 1 Kg.

(etc.; 1924, p. 7; Vorwort dat. August 1923) - Bzw. 1927: "Der vorliegende Band berichtet von unserer Arbeit während des zweiten, dritten und vierten Winters im Grab Tut-ench-Amuns." (p. 5; Vorwort dat. November 1926) - Beide Bände mit sep. Abbildungsverzeichnis u. Register -- "Die offizielle Öffnung des Grabes von Tutanchamun erfolgte erst am 26. November 1922 in Anwesenheit von Carters Finanzier George Herbert, dem fünften Earl von Carnarvon. Neuere Untersuchungen lassen vermuten, dass Carter, Lord Carnarvon und dessen Tochter, Lady Evelyn, das Grab bereits am Tag davor heimlich betreten hatten und bis in die Grabkammer vorgedrungen waren. Umstritten ist bis heute, ob dabei einzelne Gegenstände als Souvenirs mitgenommen wurden. [.] Das Metropolitan Museum in New York bot Lord Carnavon und Carter Unterstützung zur Bergung des Grabes an. Besonders wichtig war die Bereitstellung des hervorragenden Fotografen Harry Burton, der die ca. 5.400 Objekte aus dem Grabmal sorgfältig noch an Ort und Stelle dokumentierte. Viele Dinge, zum Beispiel die Blumenkränze und die Fächer aus Straußenfedern, konnten noch fotografiert werden, bevor sie zu Staub zerfielen. Burtons Bilder sind gestochen scharfe Schwarz-Weiß-Aufnahmen, die ohne den Einsatz von Kunstlicht auf Glasnegativen gemacht wurden. [.] Carter dokumentierte ebenfalls sehr detailliert die Bergungsvorgänge. [.] Insgesamt nahmen das Ausräumen und Dokumentieren der Funde und der Transport nach Kairo zehn Jahre in Anspruch, die Arbeit wurde erst 1933 abgeschlossen. [.] Im Jahr 2010 schätzte Jaromir Malek, der damalige Leiter des Griffith Institute, dass erst 30 Prozent der Objekte aus dem Grab wissenschaftlich bearbeitet sind. Bis heute ist die Erforschung des Grabes und seines Inhaltes weit davon entfernt, abgeschlossen zu sein". (E. Czerny / B. Matzner-Volfing, Bearb., in: science.orf at, dat.
