8 FASCINATING FACTS ABOUT HOWARD CARTER - MENTAL FLOSS
From mentalfloss.com Author Stacy Conradt
Howard Carter was the son of a famous illustrator. Samuel John Carter was an artist who drew and painted animals for the Illustrated London News; he also accepted private commissions and had his work featured regularly in exhibitions at the Royal Academy of Art.
Carter first went to Egypt as an artist. Through his parents’ connections, Carter found his way to the home of Lady Mary Amherst, a wealthy philanthropist and amateur Egyptologist with a huge collection of artifacts.
Tut's wasn’t the only famous tomb he worked on. By 1903, Carter was supervising excavations in the Valley of the Kings that uncovered the tombs of Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut (ruled circa 1473–58 BCE) and Thutmose IV (ruled 1400–1390 BCE), although neither contained their actual mummies.
An incident known as the Saqqara Affair nearly ruined his career. According to Petrie, who wrote about the 1904 incident in his memoir, his wife was working at the Saqqara Necropolis in Giza and had several other women visiting her hut when “some drunken Frenchmen” tried to force their way in.
Carter didn’t find Tut’s tomb overnight. Carter’s period of unemployment ended when he received a commission from George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon, to excavate Egyptian antiquities in 1907—the beginning of a long and lucrative partnership.
