Lhe hero of this saga is the British Egyptologist Howard Carter. It was he who, on November 4, 1922, discovered the first step leading to the most fabulous archaeological discovery of all time. Let’s pose the character. British phlegm and politeness? He does not know. He is angry to the point of insult, impatient, soup au lait. No taste for diplomacy. But, above all, he is stubborn and obstinate.
We owe the location of Tutankhamun’s tomb 100 years ago to the obstinacy of the English Egyptologist Howard Carter. A solitary man, endowed with a pig character, always ready to do battle with the authorities. Without him, Tut would still be stringing pearls in his solid gold coffin.
