The Tombs of Harmhabi and Toutankhamanou Paperback - 2001

by Theodore M. Davis; Gaston C. Maspero; George Daressy


From the publisher

Theodore M. Davis's discovery of the tomb of Horemheb (Harmhabi) on February 22, 1908 was his last great find in the Valley of the Kings - a vast, finely cut tomb containing the king's superb hardstone sarcophagus, a mass of fragmented burial furniture and abundant skeletal remains. The tomb's wall decorations, in various stages of completion, are among the finest in Egypt. The Tombs of Harmhabi and Touatankhamanou was Davis's swansong, published three years before his death. Besides his report on the Horemheb find, it includes an account of what Davis supposed - mistakenly - to be the destroyed burial of Tutankhamun (Touatankhamanou). The volume is abundantly illustrated with photographs and watercolour sketches of the tomb, its decorated walls and the objects found, together with some of the best views of the Valley of the Kings ever taken.

First line

On the 25th of February, 1908, while working in the Valley of the Tombs of the Kings, we came upon signs of a tomb, and, after a day's work, discovered a stairway leading sharply down a few feet, where broken rock and sand filled the space almost to the top.

About the author

Theodore M. Davis (1837-1915) was a wealthy American financier and lawyer and one of the key figures in the history of archaeological exploration in the Valley of the Kings. He had the reputation of uncovering a new tomb every season, and his finds now fill a gallery in the Cairo Museum.
