The famous British Archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter left his mark forever here in Luxor for the simple fact that it was he and his team that discovered the most famous site known to the ancient Egyptian world, that of the golden Pharaonic burial mask and intact Tomb of the boy King Tutankhamun. His home still remains there to this day.  The Discovery of Howard Carter It all started in 1907 when the french egyptologist Sir Gaston Maspero recommended Howard Carter to Lord Carnarvon to hire him as a supervisor on the excavations of nobles' tombs in Deir el Bahri. The work done by Carter in this task is what made Lord Carnavan hire him again in 1914 to lead the digging in the Valley of The Kings in Luxor right after he received the concession. It wasn't untill November 4th 1922 that Carter made his great discovery of the secret chamber of King Tut's Mummy. Carter's discovery had a great impact on the world interest in Ancient Egypt and Egyptology. History  Across the sprawling sandstone rock face of the beautiful West Bank of Luxor, and home to the ancient Tombs of the Nobles, was also the home of the famous British Archaeologist Howard Carter whilst he stayed there during his digs. He had proved himself to be an expert in the field of archaeology, so at the age of only 24, he was appointed first chief inspector of the Egyptian Antiquities Service in 1899.  Howard Carter House is noticeable by its domed roof and lush green gardens surrounding the property The house which is considered a Museum, is in its original form and the interior still homes all of the original tools, maps, old record player complete with records that Carter played at that time, antique original furnishings and a replica of the Tomb of Tutankhamun which Carter discovered. 

 Imagine Carter poring over maps, his eyes tracing the contours of the Valley of Kings. The sun would have bathed these very windows, casting shadows on ink-stained pages. Perhaps he sat here, sipping tea, pondering the hieroglyphs that danced before him. The house whispers tales of sweat-soaked brows, sleepless nights, and the thrill of discovery.

Located in Luxor, Egypt, the Valley of the Kings Temple is an architectural marvel that has stood for thousands of years. This temple was built during the reign of Amenhotep III in the eighteenth dynasty of the New Kingdom, and was used as a place of worship for the gods of ancient Egypt. The temple consists of an intricate network of courtyards, statues, and columns, as well as a variety of artifacts, including a seated granite statue of Amenhotep III and a sphinx. It is also home to many tombs of the pharaohs and their families, including Queen Tiye, wife of Amenhotep III and mother of Akhenaten. The temple is an amazing place to visit, with its grand pillars, statues and majestic ancient architecture. The Valley of the Kings Temple is also a great place to learn about the history of ancient Egypt, and to explore some of the artifacts from the time period. It is a must-visit destination for the tourists visiting the region.

Tutankhamun was an Egyptian pharaoh who ruled c. 1332 – 1323 BC during the late Eighteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. Born Tutankhaten, he instituted the restoration of the traditional polytheistic form of ancient Egyptian religion, undoing a previous shift to the religion known as Atenism. Tutankhamun's reign is considered one of the greatest restoration periods in ancient Egyptian history.

Tutankhamun died unexpectedly aged about 18; his health and the cause of his death have been the subject of much debate. In 2012 it was suggested he died from a combination of malaria and a leg fracture. Since his royal tomb was incomplete, he was instead buried in a small non-royal tomb adapted for the purpose. He was succeeded by his vizier Ay, who was probably an old man when he became king, and had a short reign. Ay was succeeded by Horemheb, who had been the commander-in-chief of Tutankhamun's armed forces. Under Horemheb, the restoration of the traditional ancient Egyptian religion was completed; Ay and Tutankhamun's constructions were usurped and earlier Amarna Period rulers were erased.

In modern times, Tutankhamun became famous as a result of the 1922 discovery of his tomb (KV62) by a team led by the British Egyptologist Howard Carter and sponsored by the British aristocrat George Herbert. Although it had clearly been raided and robbed in ancient times, it retained much of its original contents, including the king's undisturbed mummy. The discovery received worldwide press coverage; with over 5,000 artifacts, it gave rise to renewed public interest in ancient Egypt, for which Tutankhamun's mask, now preserved at the Egyptian Museum, remains a popular symbol. Some of his treasure has traveled worldwide, with unprecedented response; the Egyptian government allowed tours of the tomb beginning in 1961. The deaths of some individuals who were involved in the excavation have been popularly attributed to the "curse of the pharaohs" due to the similarity of their circumstances. Since the discovery of his tomb, he has been referred to colloquially as "King Tut".
