520    Tells the story of the tomb of Tutankhamun, placing the 
       discoveries in their historical context and includes many 
       historical documents that are being published here for the
       first time ·Includes painstaking recreations, in color, 
       of a number of key contemporary photographs taken at the 
       time by Harry Burton ·Published to accompany an 
       exhibition at The Ashmoleam Museum, Oxford, UK from July 
       24th to October 26th 2014 Howard Carter's excavation of 
       the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922 was one of the most 
       significant archaeological discoveries of the 20th 
       century. The name of Egypt's 'boy king' is now synonymous 
       with the glories of this ancient civilization, and the 
       spectacular contents of his tomb continue to capture the 
       public's imagination. This book tells the story of the 
       search for Tutankhamun's tomb and its discovery using 
       Howard Carter's original excavation records that were 
       deposited in the archives of the Griffith Institute at the
       University of Oxford. The meticulous recording process and
       conservation work on the thousands of objects took Carter 
       and his team an astonishing 10 years and for its time the 
       entire enterprise was a model of archaeological 
       investigation. Against this backdrop of painstaking 
       scholarship, the book also explores the phenomenon of 'Tut
       -mania', when the world was gripped by all things 
       Tutankhamun, from jewelry and clothing to dance music and 
       curses. In the final section, the authors re-evaluate what
       the tomb's contents can tell us about the king and his 
       time, and explore various projects that have in recent 
       years sought to ensure the preservation of Tutankhamun's 
       tomb and its contents for future generations. For all of 
       these projects, the Howard Carter archive in the Griffith 
       Institute remains an invaluable resource.
