It took a number of hours until the hole was made big enough for a man to squeeze through. Mr Carter and the Earl of Carnarvon, who financed the excayation, then entered the tomb. The first men to do so for 3000 years! Some time later, Carter returned, When asked what he had found, he replied thar the pharaoh’s tomb had been found completely intact ‘That it was made of solid gold with a magnificent mask in the image of the young pharaoh. He was asked what else he had seen, Carter then desctibed to us such a wondrous list of treasures that we could not imagine stich a fabulous scene: He told us that they had found gold-covered shrines, chariots, solid gold starues, hundreds of walking canes made from silver, gold, ivory and ebony and decorated boxes filled to the brim with the most amazing, priceless jewellery, as well as lots of other brilliant objects. He was asked how important this find was and went on to say that this was by far the best preserved royal tomb ever discovered so it would give Egyptologists invaluable new knowledge about the life of ancient Egyptians. He was finally asked what it felt like to make such a crucial discovery and he said it was the bese day of his life! 20 copyaicnt oxrono UNIVERSITY PRESS 2013.
