The uncovering of the tomb of the mysterious boy King of Egypt, on November 26, 1922, was the most important and splendid discovery in the history of modern archaeology the discovery revealed four burial chambers, so filled with priceless objects of gold and alabaster and lapis lazuli and Onyx that it took years to remove the nearly 5000 dazzling works of art from the underground tomb. Until now, however, although there have been countless stories and accounts, no one has revealed the entire truth: the bitter intrigues, the power struggles, the myriad scandals and mysterious deaths surrounding the discovery and it’s aftermath. What happened there changed forever the course of archaeological expeditions-no longer were foreigners and adventures able to simply walk in inappropriate, whatever they could find of ancient civilizations.
