Annexe and End of Excavation.

Howard Carter uncovered the tomb of King Tutankhamun in November 1922. He would continue labouring in the monument until 1927, and the final conservation of objects would finish in 1932. Over these ten years of work, Carter tackled many challenges, some of which proved insurmountable. In the end, his labour, and the story of Tutankhamun’s burial, stand as a testament to human effort and long legacies.

    And a general comment:

    I’ve just come across this list of worthwhile podcasts – look how positively – and rightly so – they write about your podcast (no 7 on the list):https://www.thoughtco.com/the-best-ancient-history-podcasts-119411

    Thank you so much for this wonderful informative podcast on Tutankhamun’s tomb. I learnt things I didn’t know. I was drawn into this young Pharoahs life way back in 1984 via a friend who believed in the curse. I didn’t believe the curse but had to learn more about the king. I was totally taken with what I learnt about him back then and nothing has changed except for what we now know … long live Tutankhamun, May your name live forever
