Discovering Tutankhamun: The Photographs of Harry Burton
 |

 |
The tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered in the main part of the Valley of the Kings. Howard Carter's house, located a short distance outside the Valley, is still standing today. The Metropolitan Museum Expedition House, where Harry Burton and the other staff members lived when they were assisting Carter in the documentation and emptying of the tomb, is situated in Deir el Bahri, directly over the mountain from the Valley; it is now being used by a joint Egyptian-Polish mission that is restoring the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut.
