		Carnarvon's enthusiasm for clearing royal tombs was truly fired, and in 1917 the excavator turned to the Valley of the Kings proper.
		Carnarvon and Carter even recovered the foodstuffs intended to sustain the dead king in the afterlife: emmer wheat, coriander, fenugreek, fl cummin, sesame, almonds, dates, juniper berries, grapes, mimusops, jujubes and other provisions, untouched since the day they had been packed into their storage boxes and baskets in the spring of 1322 BC.
		Carnarvon's old darkroom turned out to be full of treasures - on the window-sill, a bronze model axehead; under the radiator, a cartouche of Tuthmosis IV And the housekeeper's room yielded a stone fragment with hieroglyphs.

	The Life of Lord Carnarvon
		This choice was Carnarvon, influenced by the acquisition by Carter on the Luxor antiquities market in 1912 of three fine bracelet plaques of carnelian which appeared to have once adorned the king's mummy.
		Carnarvon was stranded in Egypt during this period, and Carter's own energies were diverted more and more with the war effort as a diplomatic courier.
		Carnarvon's taste for Egyptian art was developing rapidly, and by the time of his death, what had started off as a somewhat random assortment of purchased and excavated pieces ranked as one of the finest private collections of Egyptian artifacts in the world.

	Egyptology
		The discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun and the magnificent treasures within it was made primarily by two Englishmen, the Earl of Carnarvon and Howard Carter in November 1922.
		Lord Carnarvon was born on 26 June 1866, he was a collector of rare books and works of art and became interested in Egyptology when severe injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident led him to spending winters in Egypt to recuperate.
		He showed Lord Carnarvon a plan of the Valley and indicated one small area at the foot of the approach to the tomb of Ramesses VI (c1156-1148 BC) that had not yet been examined fully because by doing so they would have prevented visitors from reaching this tomb.

	Chapter extract
		It is certain that, had he lived, the fifth Earl of Carnarvon would have believed in the curse of Tutankhamun, for it seems that the British aristocrat was deeply influenced by spiritualism and the occult.
		The sixth earl goes on to say that Lady Evelyn was then placed in a similar trance, 'but she was so overcome by the experience that she had to go into a nursing home in London for a fortnight's rest'.
		Carnarvon apparently recognised the danger implied by the vision, but played down its importance, saying that he was well aware of the possible dangers of entering the tomb and would continue the work until it was done.

	Mani Tradition 3
		Carnarvon was shown a house where the owner, a shoemaker, had returned from the grave every night except Saturday night and, as well as making a few shoes, had made his wife pregnant!
		The Earl continues the story with the Vampire threatening the entire village with vengeance so the villagers tore him to pieces, cut out his heart and divided it into portions which were distributed and eaten by the villagers - this being the sure and proven method of disposing of his kind.
		An earlier superstition, which was recorded in a letter from the Bishop of Monemvasia to the then Byzantine Emperor, prior to his visit to the Peloponnese in 1415, was the practice of severing the finger of a murdered man and soaking this in a glass of wine to ward off evil spirits.
