Twenty two days after British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the entrance to the tomb of Tutankhamun (King Tut) the excavators reached another sealed doorway on November 26, 1922 and opened the antechamber, the first of four chambers which was filled with treasures.
As the event is recalled in Carters book, when Carter peered into a hole in the door, he famously replied to Lord Carnarvon's anxious question, "Yes, wonderful things". The discovery of the largely intact burial site full of treasures and artifacts, became a worldwide sensation.
Almost three months later, on February 16, 1923, after clearing the outer chambers, Carter and Lord Carnarvon opened the sealed door to the burial chamber, the final and most important chamber of the tomb.
