The fifth and final instalment of Discovering King Tut has now been posted on Heritage Key. It signed off the fantastic videos series \u2013 based around an exclusive interview with George and Fiona Herbert, Earl and Countess of Carnarvon, at their Highclere Castle home \u2013 with an illuminating look at some of the treasures from the boy king\u2019s tomb that George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon and financier of the Tutankhamun tomb investigation, was able to view before his untimely death in 1923.<\/p>\n

With all of Discovering King Tut \u2013 totalling almost half an hour of footage \u2013 now up online and ready to view, we figured it would be a good idea to put together a single round-up of the films in one handy blogpost. They\u2019ve together yielded all kinds of fascinating, funny, strange, sad and sensational insights into the Tutankhamun tomb exploration. We\u2019ve learned about all from the unique relationship Carnarvon and archaeologist Howard Carter shared, to the significance of the beautiful wall-paintings that covered the walls of KV62, the scandal in Carnarvon\u2019s family that inadvertently helped keep cash for his dig flowing, and the tragic circumstances surrounding the aristocrat\u2019s premature demise.<\/p>\n

The exceptional educational content of these videos is plain to see, and they should prove a valuable learning tool for students of King Tut and the discovery and examination of his incredible tomb in the Valley of the Kings, not to mention the lives of the two remarkable men who brought its glittering contents to the world.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
