Product Description
Product Description
The tomb of Tutankhamun (Tut.ankh.Amen), uncovered by the fifth Earl of Carnarvon and Howard Carter in November 1922, was one of the greatest archaeological finds the world has ever seen. Though entered by thieves in antiquity, the burial of the king lay intact within its nest of coffins and funerary shrines, surrounded by a mass of burial equipment arranged in three peripheral chambers. Originally published in 1933, this is the third volume of Carter's trilogy describing the excavation of two of these store chambers, within which were gathered many of the boy-king's most splended funerary treasures.

A FEW preliminary words about Tut.ankh. Amen, the king whose name the whole world knows, and who in that sense probably needs an introduction less than anyone in history. Read the first page

The Third volume in the series has the same level of detail as the previous volumes. Great pictures and in-depth detail makes this a great book for people who want to learn about tutankhamun. This book is a great read.

This book is one of the best i've bought, Howard Carter has such a fluid way of writing and describes everything in such incredible detail.Would recommend to anyone interested in Egyptology or archaeology :)
Format:Paperback
This is a set of books written by Howard Carter. I obtained Volumes 1 and 2 about 50+ years ago but was never able to get a copy of Volume 3. Volume 3 is about the opening of the Treasury and the Annex in Tutankhamen's tomb. The current reprint tells how since Volume 3 was written 10 years later than the earlier volumes the printing was small and very quickly went out of print. I am so glad I was now able to obtain this volume. It is a wonderfully informative and interesting read.
