In 1922, expert photographer Harry Burton joined archaeologist Howard Carter’s team as they uncovered the tomb of Ancient Egyptian King Tutankhamun.
Ten years later and with over 5,000 objects from the site documented, Burton had amassed an incredible record of photographs from that world-famous discovery.
One iconic photo from Burton’s collection recreates the first view Carter had as he broke through the final door into the tomb itself.

I wonder how Egiptians felt then & now, seeing their former colonisers opening their tombs, telling their stories and keeping their ancestral artifacts in museums far far away.
What the f*** is the discovery?
So how long does it take for “grave robbers” to become “archeologists”?
A time when things were built to last.
Great Nothing Like White People Taking Away Other People's Culture Out Of Envy For Not Knowing Their Own Identity… This Is How They Fucked Up Other People's Identities and Cultures By Colonising Us. I'm Thabo From South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦, And I Feel Like Im Saying This For Others By That I Don't Approve Of This Video For What It Represents. Some Of Us It's Not For Celebration It's A Reminder Of How White People's Infestation Works When It Comes To Contaminating Other People's Cultures, And It's Sad To See Other White People Still Think This Is Something To Celebrate, Such a Disgusting Thing
Only if they could carry the whole pyramid.
Fun Fact: Tutankhamun is genetically European.
Europeans sticking their big noses in nothing that involves them 🤦🏽♂️
Rubbish,i mean notthing
Great video
Egyptology is responsible for the massive coverup of real info that they've hidden, suppressed, completely closed off, or destroyed.
What a Pseudo-profession.
It looks like the room of a child who died just as they were blossoming into adulthood. Complete with their favourite foods and toys to accompany them into the afterlife. Stolen.
Carter had already breached the chamber and taken items, he stacked items to cover his ghosts hope and therefore left the deal intact for the official photographs
Sup
Leave the dead to rest in peace for gods sake,history or not who are we to disturb them
“The first view”
We should have just left all his stuff there.
mummy baka

Let’s excavate and keep studying the tomb of Tutankhamun (rest in peace dawg) I mean no disrespect to him but let’s stop excavating/exploring sites Gobleki Tepe & gunung Padang.
Heist of Tutankhamuns Tomb – English job.
An alternate title for this might be "Tutankhamun's tomb before the British got their greedy little hands all over it"
,,..here,,,for all to see == the dead graverobbers😮
Amazing
Why is BBC reporting about this? Thats whats worrying me the most.
BBC is owned by the most yucky institutions and religion of the world.
What does BBC have to do with Egypt? Stick your nose in the history of your own island.
@jokowi
These discoveries are amazing. I wonder tho, how much of it should be discovered? How much should we touch?
How is grave robbing and disrespecting the dead being celebrated? Wyt people are wicked and greedy. Let the God rest in peace.
