Tutankhamen and the Discovery of His Tomb by the Late Earl of Carnarvon and Mr. Howard Carter
Author: Grafton Elliot Smith
Publisher: London, Routledge
ISBN:
Category : Egypt
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Collected here is a series of articles Smith wrote for "The Daily Telegraph" during the period when the newspapers were publishing daily reports of the progress of the work in Tutankhamen's tomb which discuss the wider significance of the startling discoveries. He attempts to interpret deeper meaning of those Egyptian beliefs which found such brilliant expression in the luxuriously rich equipment of Tutankhamen's tomb brought to light (Nov. 1922) by the British archeologists, Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter while exploring the Valley of the Tombs of the Kings.

The Oxford Handbook of the Valley of the Kings
Author: Richard H. Wilkinson
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190493992
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 648
Book Description
The royal necropolis of New Kingdom Egypt, known as the Valley of the Kings (KV), is one of the most important--and celebrated--archaeological sites in the world. Located on the west bank of the Nile river, about three miles west of modern Luxor, the valley is home to more than sixty tombs, all dating to the second millennium BCE. The most famous of these is the tomb of Tutankhamun, first discovered by Howard Carter in 1922. Other famous pharaoh's interred here include Hatshepsut, the only queen found in the valley, and Ramesses II, ancient Egypt's greatest ruler. Much has transpired in the study and exploration of the Valley of the Kings over the last few years. Several major discoveries have been made, notably the many-chambered KV5 (tomb of the sons of Ramesses II) and KV 63, a previously unknown tomb found in the heart of the valley. Many areas of the royal valley have been explored for the first time using new technologies, revealing ancient huts, shrines, and stelae. New studies of the DNA, filiation, cranio-facial reconstructions, and other aspects of the royal mummies have produced important and sometimes controversial results. The Oxford Handbook of the Valley of the Kings provides an up-to-date and thorough reference designed to fill a very real gap in the literature of Egyptology. It will be an invaluable resource for scholars, teachers, and researchers with an interest in this key area of Egyptian archaeology. First, introductory chapters locate the Valley of the Kings in space and time. Subsequent chapters offer focused examinations of individual tombs: their construction, content, development, and significance. Finally, the book discusses the current status of ongoing issues of preservation and archaeology, such as conservation, tourism, and site management. In addition to recent work mentioned above, aerial imaging, remote sensing, studies of the tombs' architectural and decorative symbolism, problems of conservation management, and studies of KV-related temples are just some of the aspects not covered in any other work on the Valley of the Kings. This volume promises to become the primary scholarly reference work on this important World Heritage Site.
