Birth anniversary of “noted English archaeologist” Howard Carter

A tribute to Howard carter’s 138th birthday

Birth:
Howard Carter was born on May 9th, 1874 in the small town of Kensington, London, England.
Career Beginning:
Howard Carter was born on May 9, 1874 in London, and at the age of 17, he was sent out by the Egypt Exploration Fund to help Percy Newberry in the excavation and recording of Middle Kingdom tombs at Beni Hasan.Even at the young age he was innovative in improving the methods of copying tomb decoration.In 1899, Howard was appointed the first chief inspector of the Egyptian Antiquities Service (EAS). Cartor monitored scores of excavations at Thebes (now known as Luxor)
Later work and discoveries:
On 4 November 1922, Carter’s excavation group found the steps leading to Tutankhamun’s tomb, by far the best preserved and most intact pharaonic tomb ever found in the Valley of the Kings.Following his discovery, Howard Carter retired from archaeology and became a part-time agent for museums, including the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Death:
He died of lymphoma, a type of cancer, in Kensington, London, on 2 March 1939 at the age of 64.[9] The archaeologist’s (natural) death so long after the opening of the tomb, despite being the leader of the expedition, is the piece of evidence most commonly put forward by sceptics to refute the idea of a “curse of the pharaohs” plaguing the party that violated Tutankhamun’s tomb.
