  The tomb of Tutankhamun (Tut.ankh.Amen), uncovered by the fifth Earl of Carnarvon and Howard Carter in November 1922, was one of the greatest archaeological finds the world has ever seen. Though entered by thieves in antiquity, the burial of the king lay intact within its nest of coffins and funerary shrines, surrounded by a mass of burial equipment arranged in three peripheral chambers. Originally published in 1933, this is the third volume of Carter's trilogy describing the excavation of two of these store chambers, within which were gathered many of the boy-king's most splended funerary treasures.
