It's the Engines on History Hit. I'm Tristan Hughes your host and in today's

podcast we are continuing our special November mini series all about Tutankhamen,

Ancient Egypt, Valley of the Kings and so much more. We're talking today about

the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb a hundred years ago in the Valley of

although they're very important although those are two names very much

many other figures important to this story. We're going to be taking you

through the discovery itself and also what happened next because it took years

for archaeologists to record and then to remove to take out all of the

treasures discovered within the tomb of Tutankhamen and to talk through this

brilliant story of one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in the

whole of human history I was delighted to sit down and chat to a few weeks

Tutankhamen's tomb's discovery and it's aftermath inside out and he explains

brilliantly in this podcast why this tomb discovery is so significant and how

it did change the world how it changed the shape of the 20th century and the

legacy of which we can still see around us today so without further ado to

talk all about the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb and what happened next
