Egyptian finds of Tutankhamen tomb near Thebes

An article by Arthur Welxall reports the discovery by Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter of a sealed tomb in the Valley of the Kings near Thebes. It details a multi chambered complex with ivory inlaid objects, royal robes, a jeweled throne, chariot fittings, and food for the dead, plus signs the tomb may have been robbed in ancient times. The piece places the find in the broader context of Egyptian tomb practices and prior royal burials in the 18th Dynasty.
