A landmark of archaeological literature. Carter's firsthand account is compelling and essential reading for anyone interested in Egyptology. It captures the thrill of discovery, even if the prose is of its time.
Author summary:
Howard Carter (1874-1939) was an English archaeologist and Egyptologist. While a respected professional for years, his life and career were defined by one event: the discovery of the intact tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62), which made him a worldwide celebrity.
The value is moderate to high, depending entirely on the edition. Historical Interest: Immense. It's the primary source account of arguably the most famous archaeological discovery in history. Rarity: True first editions (3 vols, 1923-33) are rare and valuable. This 1970s edition is common, but still highly collectible due to the subject matter.
