- On November 4th 1922 a breathless archaeologist, who had spent his life working in Egypt, wrote a hurried diary entry: “First steps of Tomb Found”. This was the very moment that Howard Carter found the entrance to the tomb of Tutankhamun. What lay within this tomb, how did the world react and what did it mean for Egyptology.

A history textbook in middle or high school (1980s/90s) had a brief blurb about the floral wreaths found on Tutankhamun. Reading that and realizing they had survived for thousands of years is one of the things that made me want to pursue archaeology as a profession.
And did you?
@@Oddball5.0 I did! I don’t do archaeology now, but I work with several archaeologists. I still work in history.
This is really without a doubt surely the greatest Tutankhamun documentary & the story of Howard carter’s discovery I’ve ever seen & I’ve seen many of them!
The level of quality & every detail that I’ve just watched has been truly special & unforgettable it’s just an honour✨
Thank you for sharing this amazing story once again in such an incredible mesmerising beautiful way truly thanks!
What I love about the photos from the antechamber, at a glance, it looks like they could be photos of someone's garage or basement. It's arranged in that sort of organized chaos putting stuff wherever it fits. It gives it a really human touch to it all.
well, it was looted twice before carter discovered it
@@Dar1gaaz This is true, but I don't think the tomb robbers made off with too much. They found a few things here and there that looked rummaged through, but they assume that whoever tried looting the tomb was caught in the act and the break-in area was re-sealed.
So absolutely mesmorizing, transcendent and spiritual. Imagine for a moment that you found this tomb all alone. No one in the world knew a thing. Lanern lit, just staring at the glorious artifacts around you.
Beautiful to see the tomb up close, I am intrigued always!
An awe-inspiring moment frozen in time! This video takes us back to that historic instant when Howard Carter uncovered the steps leading into Tutankhamun's tomb. It's a testament to human curiosity and the relentless pursuit of discovery. Witnessing this pivotal moment is nothing short of mesmerizing, offering a glimpse into a world hidden for centuries beneath the sands of Egypt. Truly a treasure trove of history!
how many times I read and watch from various sources king tut`s story cant remember but never get bored
I'm in Alberta Canada and am so incredibly jealous but grateful to be shown such beauty with such informed care and respect
I’m 35 and I’d cry if I get a chance to go to Tutankhamun tomb
Me but I take my chance to go in DC
I would be careful when going to Egypt.
@@iGoatonPS why?
@Bullshitster25 The number of scams and money they want you to pay for having your own equipment there.
@@iGoatonPSthe people that manage the historical sites there are a damn disgrace to the history they claim to protect.
A superb and rare opportunity to view documents and learn more of the amazing details on this archaeological record of a human life!
Bravo!
Great presentation, even though it is obviously a 'retweet' of a 2022 documentary. Thanks.
I never realised just how good an artist & photographer Howard Carter was. Those images of the coffins, in their discovered state were breath-taking.
Imagine someone, of today's World, having the patience & integrity to hold back, the urge to open the various coffins, whilst the necessary work, of documenting the detail, was carried out.
Harry Burton was the photographer. It was mentioned in the doc
@@lt_johnmcclane Did I say JUST photographer. I was referring to the artwork.🤨
I LOVE learning about anything on ancient Egypt! I have so many books about it. I love it so much I had a cat I named Bastet💜 Great episode!
Anyone seen all the food they found in his tomb that still held up today onion/pitted dates/whole chickens. They were so advanced
Lost ancient chicken high technology 😅
So it was as a 2000 year old aged chicken 😉
@@JonnoPlays Sold by McDonalds as nuggets.
The great advanced Chicken Jerky. 😮
It just amazes me they preserved it so well that it hadn’t turned to complete dust. The chicken was encased in clay I believe in the shape of a rotisserie chicken lol.
THANK YOU DAN SNOW I've enjoyed this documentary on KING TUT....
Best documentary ever thankyou❤
This was fantastic.
Absolutely fantastic
I so enjoyed this!
Love this video, very informative! Thank you for sharing! 😍🤗
great doccie! Really fascinating work
Fabulous, I went to Egypt in the 90 and the Tumb was close for maintenance , could not believe my luck, I am 56 yrs , not sure If will ever go back, rather discover other beautiful parts of the world.
So amazing
nicely presented. fascinating egypt. always been my obsession.
The inner coffin was solid gold? Was it one piece single cast? That would require so much heat in a controlled environment and huge molds.
Carter had gorgeous handwriting.
Just imagine what else is still to be uncovered 😮 all that Gold and items preserved for us to uncover
I ❤ the Egypt.
nice
I was lucky enough to have stood within a meter or so of that overwhelmingly beautiful mask, when it was here in London at the history museum, part of a full display of artefacts from the tomb, many years ago.
It made a huge impression on me! I cannot overstate how big. One that will stay with me all my days.
I saw the mask in Chicago years ago. I recall the highly polished ebony eyes that literally followed you as you moved about the room. It struck me then why the grave robbers would remove the hands of the coffins as they robbed it.
Just been in his Grave two weeks ago. Small Tomb. I was unsatisfied because the other Graves like the one from Ramses IV was more impressiv.😢 They House from Mr. Carter ist now a Museum... By the way, his Mummy was also located in the Grave in a Glass cofin.
They should’ve taking it away . What a horrible thing to do . He should be resting where his family left him
An interesting documentary but had to ignore that it was hosted by Dan Snow
strange
Tutankhamun was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who ruled c. 1332 - 1323 BC, alexander arrived in Egypt 332 BC. According to Greek historical sources, the Egyptians welcomed him. In the same year he was crowned as Pharaoh died 323
wow
Already many years ago, when going into the heat,I was told NEVER go without a headgear. A hat, a baseball cap. Anything.But never bareheaded.
Great episode. The host reminded me of Gordon Ramsay if he was a historian.
Annoying you mean?
"The spirit of millions of years"
I may be wrong here, but wasn't it a little boy who saw the corner of a step poking out of the sand?
HOWARD CARTER FOUND KING TARTARS TOMB IN 1922AND WHEN HE PUT AN OIL LAMP THROUGH A SMALL HOLE HE SAW GOLD EVERY WHERE AND WHEN HE LIFTED THE HEAVY GRANITE LID OFF THE COFFIN HIS DEATH MASK IS MADE FROM SOLID GOLD AND IT'S AMAZING HOW THE ANGENT EGYPTIANS WERE ABLE TO DO THIS THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO 😁
Have been there…it’s amazing ,.it’s was made with about 122lbs of gold …
I'M #422=8 ♾️ Imagine if ancient tomb robbers had gotten to this tomb first😳. We are the fortunate. Putting all on display is a Celebration of Tutankhamun! 🪲2024 May.
How long did common Egyptian's tombs get worked on before they died?
I was told that They start working ON IT when he's announced as the new Pharao.
@@ilovetrancemusic2999 Sure, but I'm not talking about the Pharaoh's tombs. I mean the tombs/graves of common Egyptians.
15:52 i dont see that at all. i see scribble. Looks worse than a doctors note. The funny thing is that Howard Carter didnt even discover the tomb. One of the worker's sons was playing in the area and just happen to dig a hole and found the first step. 20:42 its hard to fathom that those objects have been in the same exact spot for THOUSANDS of years. im curious to how the sarcophagus was put in there without scratching up the interior.
Best discovery ever,still uneducated people spreading rumours about his health.btw latest research showed his bloodline was not pure incest,his death was not of health issues.note:all kings heart were put in boxes with every organs seperate near his tomb.but king tut heart was never found,becoz he died on the battlefield,by the enemy chariot or was crushed when he felt from his coz when they researched on him properly his left side was crushed likely by impact of a chariot weel,his heart was crushed and could not be preserved.
Good evidence all this stuff was made for Tut's sister, Meritaten. Her stuff was usurped for Tut's tomb. Not fair!
34:02 probably half a trillion dollars in gold right there alone. easily.
The death mask was actually for a female. It was evident that they weren't expecting the pharaoh's death and had to scramble to finish quickly.
they would never give him a mask meant for somebody else..It would mean that his spirit would not recognize him and would not be able to lead him to Eternity
they are the features of a young boy
@@marinafrascella7613 He died unexpectedly, so very little about his tomb was meant for him. It was thrown together. The mask is definitely not that of a young boy though.
and yet when I saw it,it was the face of an adolescent male
I've always wondered if the robbers that got into King Tut's tomb committed only minor thievery because they got caught.
So proud to be Afrikan ✊🏽
Me too
Some dirt poor Egyptian laborer was the guy who discovered that step leading to the tomb of Tut... Anyone know what his name was? Carter claimed the credit for discovering King Tuts burial tomb...I don't think Carter ever touched a shovel... No justice.. No accolades..nuttin,'...
a poor worker found the steps for the tomb
And yet, he was a relatively minor, or unimportant, Pharaoh, buried with odds and ends of his father's (probably) leftovers. As much as it is a treasure, it is also a pile of hastily assembled rubbish.

Well we know he’s eating good in the after life
I got confused when the woman expert used the word "cashet" instead of "cashe." 🙄
First ❤
Lots of historical inaccuracies
No...he did not !!! A worker did !!!😊

Who gives these people the right to desecrate the dead and raid thier tombs like theives that they are nothing is sacred when someone can make money off it ...makes me sick
I heard there was someone say they found some Brexit leaflets down there, or maybe just planted!

...Worshipping ancient and brutal Egyptian dictators, beautiful.
Lets not forget that this wasnt just for historic or archeological value purely. It was mainly so the UK could get their hands on invaluable ancient artefacts that could be taken by the government and presented in their museums. Nothing of it will go to Egypt back in the days as British empire was colonizing every continent possible. The proceeds or prizes dont go to indigenous people of Egypt
Most of these historians and their documentaries omit to mention any of it or pay respect to the LIVING people of Egypt.
Oh and replace “collected” with looted and you get a nuanced picture of real history
@@emptythoughts3060you may be right, but it's also very possible that if foreign archeologists didn't find artifacts when they did, Egyptian grave robbers may have taken them to the black market. In fact it's local grave robbers having looted every tomb before King Tut's was found that made the discovery so profound, no intact tomb had been found like that before. King Tut wasn't even that important. Looting by locals is what made the famous pharaoh's tombs lost forever.
Ye cause the locals hadn't already looted all the others....... Stop with the narrative we stole it all in the UK it's bullshit tbh
Grow up, the UK has nothing from the tomb, it's all in Egypt
@@kylerolofson it’s theirs to be looted shrug 🤷🏽♀️ having a colonizer loot it where they dont get a dime doesnt sound like a ideal solution either.
Ruined by Dan Snow as usual, always over the top presentation
Isn't that the point? To get people locked in?
“Anubis the jackal god”……
Get a grip and stop tripping over your own ignorance. (Conspiracy)
Can you elaborate…? Anubis is depicted as a jackal or a man with a jackal head.
Fraud story unfortunately like so many others
