Who discovered Tutankhamun’s tomb?

Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered by a team led by British archaeologist Howard Carter (or, according to a local legend, a boy delivering water to the excavators) in November 1922. At the time of the discovery, Tutankhamun’s tomb was still largely intact. He found a “strange and wonderful medley of extraordinary and beautiful objects” inside. For the next 10 years Carter supervised the removal of the tomb’s contents.
