Sifting the dust from the floor of the Tomb of Tutankhamun, Valley of the Kings, Egypt, 1922
Sifting the dust from the floor of the Tomb of Tutankhamun, Valley of the Kings, Egypt, 1922. Sir Charles Cust (in soft hat), the Kings Equerry, with Mr Callender. The discovery of Tutankhamuns tomb 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
In this photograph taken in 1922, we witness a pivotal moment in the history of archaeology. Sir Charles Cust, the Kings Equerry, stands alongside Mr Callender as they meticulously sift the dust from the floor of Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. This discovery by British archaeologist Howard Carter would forever change our understanding of ancient Egypt. Tutankhamun, a previously unknown pharaoh whose name had been erased from historical records due to his association with Akhenaten, his heretical father-in-law. As a result, Tutankhamun's burial chamber remained untouched by grave robbers for centuries until its remarkable unveiling. The image captures not only the excitement and dedication of these men but also their commitment to preserving history. With soft hats on their heads and baskets in hand, they delicately handle each particle of dust that holds secrets waiting to be revealed. This print is a testament to human curiosity and perseverance. It transports us back to an era when exploration was driven by passion rather than commercial gain. The stark monochrome tones emphasize both the solemnity and significance of this archaeological site. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that it is through such meticulous work that we uncover fragments of our past and piece together stories long forgotten. The legacy left behind by Howard Carter's extraordinary find continues to captivate us today as we marvel at the wonders hidden within Tutankhamun's tomb.
