The first ever view inside Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt | BBC Global



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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  5. 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.
