'Written by Carter in 1923, only a year after the discovery, this book captures the overwhelming exhilaration of the find, the painstaking, step-by-step process of excavation, and the wonder of opening a treasure-filled inner chamber whose regal inhabitant had been dead for 3,000 years....A new preface by Jon Manchip White adds information on Carter's career, recent opinions on Tutankhamen's reign and the importance of Carter's discovery to Egyptologists.'
