Tutankhamun: Anatomy of an Excavation is ambitious in its scope but simple in its aims: to make the complete records of Howard Carter's excavation of the tomb of Tutankhamun available on these web pages. It is astonishing, but no longer acceptable, that some eighty years and thousands of articles, hundreds of books, and dozens of exhibitions after the discovery of the tomb, this most famous event in the history of Egyptian archaeology has not yet been fully published. The documentation is presented in its original form and all, scholars, interested members of the public and school students, can consult it. We hope that this will help bring the knowledge and love of ancient Egypt to everybody.

If you wish to concentrate on Harry Burton's photographs,

• browse through the gallery of all the photographs (this is especially useful for book editors and picture researchers)
• search for more detailed information about photographs
• go through the lists and galleries of photographs of
  • the exterior of the tomb
  • the painted decoration in the Burial Chamber
  • general views of the Valley of the Kings
  • miscellaneous topics.
• look at photographs showing work in Tutankhamun's tomb
