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)
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Isn't there some plausible conspiracy that he actually found the tomb years before, plundered it then restored some of the artifacts years later for the 'discovery'?
[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.
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.
[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 it's link with Carter and is devoting large area of it's museum to him .We will have to clear up this confusion of his birth place.Northmetpit 12:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
