I've always felt bad for Lord Carnarvon. He never got to see the full glory of what he helped discover.
I also never knew until quite recently that he and Howard Carter and two other members of their party actually entered Tut's tomb the night they discovered it, and pretty much scoped out the whole thing. They kept a very good secret for a very long time.
Here's another NickCarraway-posted topic regarding Tut:
