Shortly after the discovery of King Tut's tomb, another intact royal burial was found—this time in the shadow of the Great Pyramid at Giza (Subscriber Exclusive)
treasure-filled tomb sparked a fascination with all things ancient Egyptian across Europe and the United States.
On Saturday, March 7, as Reisner was preparing his Monday-morning lecture, thousands of miles away his team finally excavated the full shaft and were awestruck by what they found. T. R. D. Greenlees recorded the moment in his diary: For the excavators, it was their moment of triumph, but later that week, Reisner sent a telegraph from Boston ordering that the work halt in Egypt. The tomb would be resealed.Please be respectful of copyright. Unauthorized use is prohibited.: The interior of Hetepheres’s tomb in Giza, near Cairo, was packed with grave goods when it was first seen by George Reisner in January 1926. Water had damaged many of the objects, but several items were later painstakingly reconstructed.
Reisner’s duties in the U.S. delayed the reopening of Tomb G7000X until January 1926. On finally entering the chamber containing the sarcophagus, Reisner discovered that the gold-cased furniture inside was damaged by water and in such poor condition that he feared it would crumble. The delicate work to retrieve the fragments of wood and inlay was painstaking.
