Lord Carnarvon with Egyptian officials, Luxor, Egypt, 1922. Chatting on the terrace of the Winter Palace Hotel. Left to right: Abd El Aziz Yahieh Bey, Governor of Kena; Lord Carnavon (1866-1923); Mohamed Fahmy Bey, Momour Markay, Luxor; Sheikh Ahmed Shaker, Judge of Luxor. A keen egyptologist, Carnarvon was archaeologist Howard Carter's financial backer in his excavations in the Valley of the Kings. The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 was one of the most astounding discoveries in archaeology. Tutankhamun was a previously unknown pharaoh whose name had been eradicated from historical records by one of his successors because of his association with the heretical pharaoh Akhenaten, who was Tutankhamun's father-in-law. Consequently his tomb, uniquely, had remained undisturbed by grave robbers.
