One hundred years ago today, Howard Carter "and his workmen" discovered the first step leading to the tomb of Tutankhamen. Later in the month (November 26, 1922), Carter had the above exchange with Lord Carnarvon.

"Saturday, November 4.
First steps of tomb found.

At about 10am I discovered beneath
almost the first hut
attacked the first traces of the entrance of the tomb
(Tut.ankh.Amen)
This comprised the first step of the N.E. corner
(of the sunken-staircase).
Quite a short time sufficed to show
that it was the beginning
of a steep excavation cut in the bed rock,
about four metres below the entrance
of Ramses VI's tomb,
and a similar depth below
the present level of the valley.
And, that it was of the nature
of a sunken staircase entrance
to a tomb of the type of the XVIIIth Dyn.,
but further than that nothing could be told
until the heavy rubbish above was cleared away."

It's all in the mind, ya know.
