The Trail and the Treasure with Freddie Jones as Howard Carter Ralph Truman as Lord Carnarvon Anthony Jacobs as Narrator
3,400 years maybe have passed and gone since human feet last trod the floor on which you stand, and yet, as you note the recent signs of life around you - the half-filled bowl of mortar from the door, the blackened lamp, the fingermark on the freshly painted surface, the farewell garland dropped upon the threshold - you feel it might have been but yesterday. Fifty years ago the tomb of a minor Egyptian king was opened and when its contents were examined the news caused a world sensation.
The rewards of that long and intricate trail were the culmination of one of the most exciting stories in the history of archaeology.
