Description

The story of Howard Carter's discovery in the Valley of the Kings is the most well known in archaeology. Less well known is the political storm that followed. Carter became embroiled in a succession of disputes that culminated in the suspension of work on the excavation. The affair became an international incident, and Carter was cast in the role of villain by the international press. This is Carter's own account of the affair.
