153a: The Tomb of Tutankhamun (Part 1)

The History of Egypt Podcast

Ancient Egypt, from Creation to Cleopatra. This podcast tells the story of pharaonic Egypt "in their own words." Using archaeology, ancient texts, and up-to-date scholarship, we uncover the world of the Nile Valley and its people. Hosted on the Airwave Media Network.

Seek and Discover. In this episode, we begin the tale of the most famous tomb in history. KV62, a small monument, in the lower reaches of the Valley of the Kings. Overlooked for three thousand years, the tomb finally emerged thanks to a persistent excavator and a stroke of good fortune. However, the Tomb of Tutankhamun has built up its own mythology. In this episode, we begin to explore the tomb, and its discovery, including some lesser-known questions...  Episode Chapters<ul><li>Chapter 1: A Long-Expected Pharaoh 04:15</li><li>Chapter 2: The Stairway to the Past 27:36</li><li>Chapter 3: The Door Goes West 46:51</li><li>Chapter 4: Candles in the Dark 1:08:40</li><li>Chapter 5: The Antechamber Unmasked 1:22:52</li><li>Conclusion: 1:39:00</li></ul> Episode Links<ul><li>Howard Carter and George Herbert (Lord Carnarvon), Five Years' Exploration at Thebes: A Record of Work Done 1907-1911 by The Earl of Carnarvon and Howard Carter, 1912.
