Tut, revision or not. H. Carter articles are hard to come by.

This issue was addressed in Thomas Hoving’s 1978 book “The Search for Tutankhamun: The Untold Story”.

Apparently with Lord Carnavon’s prior knowledge and approval, Carter did purloin some artifacts which he later sold to the NY Metropolitan Museum of art.

One of the more interesting things in the book was that Carnavon, his daugther and Carter actually entered the tomb the night prior to the official entry.

Well Carter did do all of the work. Why in hell should Egypt lay claim to everything? Three thousand years had passed and no Egyptians were smart enough to find the thing! If Carter—who spent over a decade of his life cataloging the tombs’ artifacts—did grab something for all that effort, good for him.
