Tutankhamen and the Discovery of His Tomb by the Late Earl of Carnarvon and Mr. Howard Carter is a definitive historical account of one of the most momentous archaeological finds in history. Written by the distinguished anatomist and Egyptologist Grafton Elliot Smith in the immediate wake of the tomb's opening, this work provides a scholarly yet captivating overview of the young pharaoh's life and the dramatic recovery of his final resting place in the Valley of the Kings.

The narrative explores the historical significance of the Eighteenth Dynasty, offering expert analysis on the cultural and religious climate of ancient Egypt. Smith details the painstaking efforts of Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon, illustrating the sheer scale of the discovery and the unparalleled preservation of the royal funerary treasures. From the intricate craftsmanship of the golden mask to the anatomical insights provided by the royal remains, the book covers the breadth of the find's impact on science and history.

As a record produced at the height of Tut-mania, this work captures the global fascination with the boy-king. It remains an essential text for those interested in the golden age of archaeology and the enduring mysteries of the Nile.
