1922: Howard Carter examines King Tut's mummy
In 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered King Tut’s
tomb, a large ancient Egyptian vault containing a boy pharaoh who had
previously been shrouded in mystery. The tomb, which held the mummified remains
of Tutankhamun ("King Tut), unveiled new archaeological mysteries even as
it solved others. In this image from The New York Times Photo Archive, Carter
is pictured examining the remains after the excavation.
