"As my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the
room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold everywhere the glint of gold. For the moment an eternity it must have seemed
to the others standing by I was struck dumb with amazement, and when Lord Carnarvon, unable to stand the suspense any
longer, inquired anxiously, Can you see anything? it was all I could do to
get out the words, Yes, wonderful things."
— Howard Carter (The Tomb of
Tutankamen)
