The Discovery of Tutankhamun's Tomb

71 min

Across the Nile from ancient Thebes, a forgotten boy king sleeps beneath the rubble of the Valley of the Kings. Howard Carter’s patient, near-abandoned search leads through years of dust and disappointment to the sealed steps uncovered in November 1922. A quietly told history of Tutankhamun’s brief reign, accidental preservation and return to the light.
