The first ever view inside Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt | BBC Global

In 1922, expert photographer Harry Burton joined archaeologist Howard Carter's team as they uncovered the tomb of Ancient Egyptian King Tutankhamun.

Ten years later and with over 5,000 objects from the site documented, Burton had amassed an incredible record of photographs from that world-famous discovery.

One iconic photo from Burton's collection recreates the first view Carter had as he broke through the final door into the tomb itself.
