'At first I could see nothing, the hot air escaping from the chamber causing the candle to flicker. But presently, as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room emerged slowly from the mist strange animals, statues, and gold - everywhere the glint of gold. For a moment -- an eternity it must have seemed to the others standing by, I was struck dumb; then Lord Carnarvon in- quired anxiously - "Can you see any- thing ?" "Yes, I replied, . . . wonderful things . . .'" Such was Howard Carter's reaction when he became the first man to set eyes on Tutankhamen's tomb for over three thousand years. Behind the door that had been blocked by the debris of thirty centuries lay the most fabulous treasure discovered by:, modern archaeology, the incredible gold and jewelled splendour of a royal Egyptian burial, the only one ever re- covered intact and unplundered. Who was the nineteen-year-old boy whose mummy lay within the solid gold coffin? What was his place in Egyptian history? Who had been in these rooms before Howard Carter, to rifle the great chests, dump the treasure on the floor in confusion and then go as mysteriously as he had come, leaving the untold riches heaped behind him ? Leonard Cottrell, internationally famous writer/archaeologist, superbly captures the mystery and excitement surrounding Tutankhamen himself and the terrific discovery of the tomb. _ Following the enormous success of the British Museum's exhibition of the treasures, this magnificent book has been reprinted and now includes a section of colour photographs.
