Howard Carter (1874-1939) was a British archaeologist and Egyptologist renowned for discovering the intact tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in 1922. Trained as an archaeological draftsman, Carter's meticulous excavation and cataloguing techniques set new professional standards. Working under the patronage of Lord Carnarvon, he uncovered the extraordinary treasures of Egypt's 18th Dynasty and forever changed the study of the ancient world. His multivolume The Tomb of Tutankhamen (1923-1933) remains a landmark of archaeological literature, combining scholarly precision with an explorer's sense of wonder.
