New evidence suggests Howard Carter, the until now respected English archaeologist who excavated Tutankhamun’s (King Tut’s) tomb in Egypt in 1922, was a tomb-raiding “artifact thief.” On the 100th anniversary of Lord Carnarvon’s investment in English archaeologist Howard Carter, and his subsequent discovery of the tomb of the boy king, the latter is proved to have been a criminal. Carter spent 10 years excavating King Tut’s tomb, filled with golden thrones, chariots and thousands of sacred artifacts, and delivering boatloads of ancient treasures down the Nile to Cairo’s Egyptian Museum.
