Abstract EN
The discovery and excavation of the tomb of King Tut by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon continued for nearly seven years, from 1923 to 1930, with some intervals.
The Egyptian contribution to Carter‟s excavation mission has always been neglected.
The only reference to the Egyptian role in Carter‟s archaeological expedition concerns the work of Dr.
Saleh Bey Hamdi, who participated in the examination of and the writing up of the report on Tut‟s mummy.
The importance of Egypt‟s contribution to the clearance and conservation of Tut‟s matchless treasures from 1923 to 1930 is highlighted in this article.
Despite the fact that Egypt‟s role may appear modest for a variety of reasons, the Egyptian public‟s attitude toward it was enormous.
So much so that it encouraged Egypt‟s government to invest in Egyptology and archaeology education.
Moreover, Egyptian participation in the excavation of Tut‟s tomb inspired the Egyptians to improve their knowledge of, and expand their own presence in, the excavation works
