Removing a chariot wheel from the Tomb of Tutankhamun, Valley of the Kings, Egypt, 1922
Removing a chariot wheel from the Tomb of Tutankhamun, Valley of the Kings, Egypt, 1922. The discovery of Tutankhamuns tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter (1874-1939) was one of the most astounding discoveries in archaeology. Tutankhamun was a previously unknown pharaoh whose name had been eradicated from historical records by one of his successors because of his association with the heretical pharaoh Akhenaten, who was Tutankhamuns father-in-law. Consequently his tomb, uniquely, had remained undisturbed by grave robbers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the history of archaeology - the removal of a chariot wheel from the Tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. In 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter made an astonishing discovery that would forever change our understanding of ancient Egypt. Tutankhamun, a previously unknown pharaoh whose name had been erased from historical records, was finally brought back to light through this remarkable find. The tomb remained untouched by grave robbers, making it an unprecedented treasure trove filled with invaluable artifacts. In this image, we see men carefully carrying out one of these precious relics - a chariot wheel. The delicate handling and cautious expressions on their faces reflect the immense significance they attached to every artifact unearthed from Tutankhamun's burial site. The photographer Harry Burton skillfully captured this historic moment with his camera lens. His monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to the scene, emphasizing both the gravity and excitement surrounding this groundbreaking archaeological endeavor. Today, this photograph serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination in unraveling mysteries buried deep within time. It reminds us how one extraordinary discovery can reshape our knowledge of ancient civilizations while igniting our imagination about what else lies hidden beneath layers of sand and stone.
