The discovery of the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun in 1922 was arguably the most famous archaeological find of the 20 th century. How was the tomb discovered? Who were the scholars responsible for the find and, who was the Boy King and why did his tomb survive largely intact for thousands of years while those of so many other pharaohs were lost? This well-illustrated presentation by Richard Veit, Ph.D., Professor of Anthropology and Interim Dean of the School Of Humanities And Social Sciences at Monmouth University, seeks to answer those questions as we celebrate the centennial of this amazing discovery.
