  1. Incredible! Did not realize it was that long ago. Also to think of the technology that was at their disposal during that time and where we are now. Since then no other Discovery even touch what they found that day. Absolutely amazing!

  2. Lennie It is pretty mind blowing. It's the first excavation (that I know of) that has all the items photographed in place - they've been scanned and you can view them here: griffith.ox.ac.uk - Tutankhamun: Anatomy of an Excavation | The Griffith Institute
    Carter's hand written object cards are also there. Carter never finished his documentation of the excavation...
