    How fitting that he was buried in a tomb.
    George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon (1866-1923), was the noted Egyptologist and financial backer of archaeologist Howard Carter who discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings in 1922. The treasures discovered in the boy king’s burial chambers dazzled the world and continue to do so. Tutankhamun’s burial chamber was the first Pharaoh’s tomb in centuries to be discovered intact though outer chambers had been pillaged by grave robbers.
