How did Howard Carter Locate Tutankhamun's Tomb?

'How did Howard Carter Locate Tutankhamun's Tomb?'
On November 4th 1922 a breathless archaeologist, who had spent his life working in Egypt, wrote a hurried diary entry: “First steps of Tomb Found”. This was the very moment that iconic archaeologist Howard Carter found the entrance to the tomb of the Ancient Egyption Pharaoh, Tutankhamun.
In this very special film, shot in Egypt and England, Dan Snow commemorates the centenary of the most famous archaeological discovery of them all - walking in the footsteps of Howard Carter as he retraces the story of the discovery, from the beginnings of Carter’s career as a young artist recording reliefs in Hatshepsut’s magnificent temple, to the house he built especially close to the Valley of the Kings thanks to the support of Lord Carnarvon.
The History Hit team has gained access to key places associated with this historic story: Highclere Castle, home of Lord Carnarvon; Tutankhamun’s Tomb in the Valley of the Kings, and his famous golden treasures in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, which we explore with conservator Eid Murtah.
And Dan discovers that there is another side to this story, revealed in Oxford - Howard Carter’s extensive records are stored here. Dan gets up close to key objects in the Bodleian Weston Library’s exhibition ‘Tutankhamun - Excavating the Archives’, including the famous journal entry that, as Carter first gazed into the dark of the tomb, he told Carnarvon “It is wonderful”.
In Oxford’s Griffith Archive, Dan explores the records in detail with curator Daniella Rosenow. The original glass plate negatives reveal how the tomb looked as Carter opened it, with now familiar objects covered in flowers and linens, carefully placed there as the nineteen year old pharaoh was buried in 1323 BC. It presents a very different image of the objects that we now picture cleaned up and conserved - here they are in a much more immediate moment just as Carter uncovered them.

I read somewhere the Carter's meticulous cataloguing and removal of the objects in the tomb took something like 7 or 8 years. Imagine the discipline that would take. Every single object, photographed and sketched in situ, measured, recorded, carefully moved, photographed again, and boxed up for shipping and further study. Every day, in the desert, for years. Carter might not have been a great archaeologist, he might have been the GREATEST archaeologist.

[@MrLantean]

What Carter had done become a standard procedure for archeology. Every content must be photographed and catalogued before they are removed. This made Howard Carter perhaps the greatest archeologist.

King Tut may not have been Egypt's most famous Pharaoh, but based upon the vast riches found buried with him, he must have been very much loved by his people.

[@wanderingwizard1361]

That doesn't necessarily follow. The better explanation would be that the amount of wealth that was buried with an insignificant pharaoh demonstrates the wealth and power of the dynasty or of the insitution of kingship in general. It's commonly supposed that phraraohs such as Snefru, or Ramses II, or Thutmoses III would have been buried with even greater wealth, but that might not be the case either if the grave goods buried with each pharaoh are a reflection of the prosperity of the time more than the power of the individual pharaoh--- and that could be the case.

At has only four years or reign, and sure he was quite old when he became pharaoh and do his tomb may have been made apace, but Tut has 9 or 10 years of reign and tombs began almost straight away after Pharoahs came to the throne. Also, Tut received much that was repurposed from his predecessor, Ankhkheperure who, Reeves theorises, was entombed in KV62 first, which is quite plausible for mine.

in a way it's sad they completely looted the tomb. In that sense they were no better than all the graverobbers that cleaned out all the other tombs, but at least most the contents have been preserved, while much of it probably would have been stolen or damaged anyway if it was left in situ. It is however worth noting that since the tomb has been left open and thousands of people have been inside it, the wall paintings are deteriorating and the colours fading, so they're not quite as brightly coloured as they would have been originally, or even when Carter found the tomb in 1922. Nothing's being done to preserve the walls - no airlock doors or climate control, so they will continue to deteriorate

I wish you'd mentioned all the Egyptian workers earlier, rather than adding it as an afterthought at the end of the video, especially considering it was likely and Egyptian who discovered the first steps, and it was Egyptians who did the hard work without credit, and ultimately, Egypt that lost out in this discovery, with Carter not even allowing Egyptian government officials to view the tomb.

Factually incorrect almost in every single sentence you wrote.

Lo metieron ahí...pero,no era su tumba como ninguno de los objetos encontrados, pertenecían a una mujer, Tutankamon no fue relevante.

Lord Carnarvon was a Fascinating Man - Spent £900k for the entire operation- I'm sure he was a force to be seen and positively a Debonair Sophisticated Gentleman. 🌴🐪🐪🌴

Not £20 million,. £45k in 1922, is £~900k today

My theory is his mother made ruler knowing he wouldn't pass the trial and he died in the trial or was killed by people when he failed trial,all other tomb rituals they would empty out around a year later but king tut was left with treasure because he was disabled and they believed he needed more time 2 reach the afterworld So he was left with treasure,the treasure was maybe used for previous leaders who died so treasure might not make sense.For a short lived leader 2 have this much treasure means a long lived one would have a magnitude more to be with this much resources makes no sense the treasure was always removed this being probably the only exception and treasure was a lot but was not intended to be removed and will be a mixture of things that won't all relate 2 him because thus was done as part of a ritual for afterlife journey.
