Howard Carter: The Path to Tutankhamun

About this book

In November 1922 a momentous discovery unlike any other before or since changed our understanding of the ancient world. However until now the marvelous story of Carters quest for Tutankhamun and its culmination in his unearthing of the intact treasure-filled tomb has been told without a reliable account of the man behind the discovery and the myths that have surrounded it. Carters legendary discovery in the Valley of the Kings and his painstaking clearance of the intact royal burial are the topic of this definitive biography.
