Tony Demetriades will describe how American Howard Carter, backed by the generosity of England's Lord Carnarvon (of Downton Abbey fame), attempted to solve the age-old mystery of the location of Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb. On the last day of the planned excavations, Carter discovered the tomb, yielding a mythical treasure of artifacts that have shaped our understanding of history and ancient art.
