The Mummy of King Tut was found in 1922 by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon. Lord Carnarvon was a rich man who owned the right to dig in the Valley of the Kings where king was found. Lord Carnarvon was letting Carter dig for a king named Tut ankh amun who's name Carter had read on some stone walls. Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon searched for five years for king Tut in the valley of the kings yet they found nothing. Lord Carnarvon was giving up hope after five years, so Carter offered to pay for the workers, and Lord Carnarvon agreed to this. After four days of work under Carter's pay they found the steps leading to the entrance to the tomb. It took Lord Carnarvon two weeks to get from England to the valley of the kings. When Lord Carnarvon got to the scene they began further excavation.
