Egyptological feats at the UAB: 100 years since the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb

The UAB's Institute for Ancient Middle Eastern Studies (IEPOA) organises the activity "Yes, wonderful things! – Howard Carter" to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb.

The conference will be held by José Lull, associate professor of Egyptology at the UAB, who will speak on the life of Howard Carter, his work in Egypt, his achievements and failures, and his remarkable persistence and strong will to find the tomb of Tutankhamun until finally reaching the magical moment on 26 November 1922, in which after perforating the tomb's second enclosure wall, he saw "wonderful things".

The organisation of the event includes the collaboration of the Department of Antiquity and Middle Age Studies, the Office of the Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Humanities, the Office of the Vice Rector of Communication and Culture, and the Humanities Library.
