Tutankhamun – a talk by Ken Brooks

The discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun is acknowledged as one of the greatest events in the history of archaeology. On a remarkable day in November 1922 Howard Carter looked into the tomb’s ante­chamber and saw “Wonderful things. Everywhere the glint of gold!”  Popular local historian Ken Brooks will help us follow in Carter’s footsteps and reconstruct his experience with contemporary photographs.
