Opening the Tomb of Tutankhamun
In November 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter stood before a sealed door in the Valley of the Kings. He had spent years searching for the lost tomb of a minor pharaoh, despite colleagues warning him that he ought to abandon the seemingly futile project. Most experts believed the valley was entirely exhausted and that Carter needn't waste any more of his patron's diminishing funds.
When his workers finally uncovered the hidden staircase, Carter faced an agonizing decision. Protocol dictated that he wait for Egyptian officials before breaking the final seal. However, after making a small breach in the doorway, he dared not step away without knowing what lay inside. He inserted a candle into the darkness and, as his eyes adjusted, saw the glimmer of magnificent gold artifacts.
The subsequent excavation changed Egyptology forever, yet it also sparked intense political friction.
