[edit] Unplundered?
I would question that KV62 is unplundered. Markh 11:19, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed. Is this wording acceptable? –Hajor 13:33, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] He was lucky
I think he was really lucky to find the grave of the young pharaoh Tutankhamun, because he just started his last chance to find the grave and suddenly he found............................IT- THE GRAVE WHICH WAS SAYED TO MAYBE NEVER BE FOUND OR MAYBE JUST DON'T EXIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.191.215.58 (talk • contribs) 22:12, 19 November 2005
[edit] Months instead of years?
I saw a NatGeoTV documentary where, as far as I remember, the search for the tomb of Tutankhamun has lasted 6 years. In the article it says 'few months' - might be that I am wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.144.216.154 (talk • contribs) 23:28, 7 March 2006
[edit] Ashmol Site
What's up with the Ashmol site (http://www.ashmol.ox.ac.uk/)? It appears to be offline, which is very unfortunate because three of the four external links are on this site. And where are the references? As of now, this Wikipedia article has no references for the material here save for the books listed. The only other external link is just about Howard Carter's grave. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greevous (talk • contribs) 00:37, 2 October 2006
[edit] Swaffham ,Norfolk,England
I have just read an article in the Eastern Daily Press about Howard Carter 26.03.2007 that states Carter was born in Swaffham not Kensington ,London.The town of Swaffham is very proud of its link with Carter and is devoting large area of its museum to him .We will have to clear up this confusion of his birth place.

[edit] The picture of the Howard Carter house
I have just come back from Thebes and the picture of the Howard Carter house in this article seems to be incorrect. The local Egyptians were conviced it was a house nearby, surrounded by trees. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fluffball70 (talk • contribs) 15:59, 29 January 2007
[edit] Picture of Carter himself?
There are 3 pictures in this article, which is in my opinion a little much for the size of this article, and not one of them is of Carter himself. It seems ridiculous to me to have this many pictures on such a short article and not have one of himself - no matter how relevant the current pictures are. I suggest removing the pictures of "KV62" and "Tutankhamun's tomb" as those pictures can already be found in their respective articles, and finding a picture of Carter himself. Anyone agree? --Kurotsyn 23:08, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- Shweeet! Someone got a picture! :D Well, the "Tutankhamun's Tomb" section looks a bit cluttered with all those pictures. I still want to remove those images, but... I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do that myself. So... uhhh... hmmm..--Kurotsyn 18:35, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The fate of his canary
I read somewhere in a history book that a snake ate his canary. I don;t know how it is relevant but the book made it seem iconic. Any thoughts on adding something in? Reginmund 05:51, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- apparently the death of his bird was from a cobra after the discovery of the tomb king tut something to do with a mummys curse or so!!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.2.165.239 (talk) 16:08, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discoveries Of King Tutanhkansetamun
In the early 1920's the frequency of King Tut's. tomb was discovered by Howard Carter. Howard Carter is an archeologist also an Egyptologist. He was inspired by his father 'John Frawly Beckham Vincent Brumby Malinga Lee Carter'. So Howard Carter's real names is 'Howard John Frawly Beckham Vincent Brumby Malinga Lee Carter'. The discovery of King Tut's tomb was a draw of luck. One of his helpers(workers) had fell from walking in the heet of the deserts of Egypt. It did not feel xlike a rock so Howard and his men started digging. Then finally Howard's hard work had finally paided off he had found what he was looking for. The Tomb of Tutanhkansetamun. He was known as the world's best archeologist and Egyptologist of the year for achieving what he wanted. After six expeditions success struck. It was nothing but luck. He soon passed away when he reached the age of 64. He is remembered today as the discoverer of King Tutanhkansetamun.
Howards last words were "King Tutanhkansetamun's death was sudden and it shall remain a mystery"

[edit] Years, not months, of fruitless searching
The article says "After a few months of fruitless searching" he found the tomb. Isn't that several years of fruitless searching? Riordanmr (talk) 19:30, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] BBC Documentary
After watching a BBC documentary about the discovery of Tutankhamun I realised the influence of the archeologist Sir Leonard Woolley should be included in the article as according to the programme he suggested to search in the dig site which led to its discovery.
