Great moment of Archaeology: Nov 26th 1922 Howard Carter enters the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. He had been working in the Valley of the Kings for years, but on 4th Nov, Carter’s water carrier found the steps leading to the tomb. On 26th Nov, Carter made the famous “tiny breach” of the doorway, and was able to peer into the antechamber by the light of a candle and see that many of the gold treasures were still in place. When asked “Can you see anything?”, he replied: “Yes, wonderful things.” Egyptian Art, Egyptian Tattoo, Egyptian Mythology, Egyptian Symbols, Egyptian Goddess

Southern Tomb 25 at Amarna was intended for the burial of Ay, who later became Pharaoh, after Tutankhamun. The tomb was never finished, and he later buried in the Western Valley of the Valley of the Kings, in Thebes. The tomb was only partially carved from the rock, with the first part of the pillared hall only being anything like completed. The tomb contains depictions of Ay receiving rewards from Akhenaten and Nefertiti. The tomb also contains a version of the Great Hymn to the Aten. Egypt Art

At twilight on January 10, 1910, a young boy beckoned George Reisner to the Menkaura Valley Temple. There, emerging from a robbers' pit into which they had been discarded were the tops of two heads, perfectly preserved and nearly life-size. This was the modern world's first glimpse of one of humankind's artistic masterworks, the statue of Menkaura and queen.
