The Earl and the Pharaoh

From the Real Downton Abbey to the Discovery of Tutankhamun

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

The 5th Earl of Carnarvon (1866–1923) is best remembered for financing the expedition on which Howard Carter uncovered Tutankhamun’s tomb and supposedly unleashed the ‘curse of the pharaohs’. With source material drawn from the archives of the Earl’s beloved home, Highclere Castle, this biography tells a fuller story, covering his enthusiasms for racehorses and motor cars, alongside the tragedies and reversals of fortune that shaped his restless life. Slightly off-mint.
