The Earl and the Pharaoh

Zusatztext

Between November 1922 and spring 1923, a door to the ancient Egyptian world was opened: the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun would be the most astonishing archaeological find of the century. It was Lord Carnarvon whose passion and ability to finance the project allowed the excavation and eventual discovery to take place. Drawing on Highclere Castle's never-before-plumbed archives, this revelatory new biography charts the twists of luck and tragedies that shaped Carnarvon's life.
