Photos Of King Tut's Tomb Brought Back To Life With Innovative Technology
In 1922, archaeologist Howard Carter peered into a dark room in the middle of Egypt, being the first person to do so in 3,245 years.
Carter had made one of the greatest discoveries in all of Egyptology: the discovery of the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb.
Inside were a chambers within chambers of undisturbed, ancient artifacts, hidden away from thieves that had laid claim to other entombments.
Carter and photographer Harry Burton explored the tombs in the Valley of the Kings with enthusiastic mindfulness, now those photographs are getting the modern treatment before going on display in New York; part of an exhibit on the tomb of the famous pharaoh.
Iconic Photographs Now In Color
Like a painter coloring their images complete, the company Dynamichrome makes it their business to bring images from the past into images of today. The company was tasked with doing just that to the 1922 photographs from King Tut's tomb, turning the negative plates into a digital media that brings a refreshing view of historical archaeology.
King Tut's Tomb Revealed
The recolored photographs reveal a new perspective on Egyptology's exciting past, showcasing the brilliant golds and blues of the once great Kingdom of Egypt, ruled by pharaohs that were equal to the gods.
The Exhibit Will Showcase The Breathtaking Photographs
Painstaking Care
Electricity had to be wired into the tombs so as to avoid disturbing the potentially fragile chambers, as well as to avoid suffocating on the smoke from a torch.
The Find Of A Lifetime
While King Tut lived a relatively short life, the boy-king went to his grave in a grand display of wealth. The demise of the young king came decades before his expected death, so his sarcophagi were sealed into tombs reserved for the "lesser classed."
Pristine Colors
In what was one simple black and white photos, Dynamichrome have introduced the colors of 1922 where they belong.
The Discovery Of A Secret Chamber
Carter and his team discovered multiple chambers throughout the tomb complex, but the find didn't come without its fair share of struggle and frustration.
A Mere Fraction Of The Late King's Potential Wealth
Although the inner sanctum of King Tut's tomb had remained undisturbed (thanks to the entrance being covered in mud from flooding), the young king had lived his position for a short while. Still, his amassed wealth was an amazing discovery for Egyptologists, who had been frustrated by the grave-robbing committed within the tombs of other pharaohs.
A Snapshot Of The King's Possessions
It was Egyptian custom to bury their king with all the possessions that they could want in the afterlife, which explains the rooms upon rooms of priceless, ancient artifacts.
Wrapped With Care
The sarcophagus of King Tut was prepared for shipping with incredible care, as the artifacts within the tomb were considered priceless beyond compare.
Trunks, Sculptures, And Idols
The possessions of King Tut's tomb are now on display across the globe, possibly making the artifacts the most travelled archaeological discoveries ever.
The Resting Place Of King Tutankhamun
Carter Enjoying A Book
The Egyptologist is one of the most well-known archaeologists in history, having studied the ancient culture of the pharaohs since the age of 17.
Treasures Beyond Belief
The Crowning Achievement To An Illustrious Career
Carter retired shortly after the excavation of King Tut's tomb, and conspiracy theorists go so far as to say that Carter's death in 1939 was the result of the curse written upon the walls of the tomb.
The Curse Of King Tut
Although Carter was diagnosed and died of Hodgkin's disease, some say that Carter's work a mere decade prior was the actual cause of his death.
With the newly colored photographs of Carter's monumental discovery in 1922, the world will relive the magic of history as if they were standing in the room with the man himself.
