Description

The Carnarvon Tablet: A Key Discovery in Egyptian History In 1908, Lord Carnarvon's excavation uncovered a wooden tablet near the entrance of a tomb. This seemingly insignificant object would go on to be one of the most important inscriptions of the early 20th century. This booklet provides an account of the events surrounding the tablet's discovery, along with extensive quotes from articles published at the time and a detailed translation of the text on both sides of the tablet. It is part of Museum Tours Press' "Site Notes" series, which examines archaeological sites and other items of interest in depth. Bill Petty, author of this book, has a PhD in Engineering and has been an avocational Egyptologist since 1990. He has published nine books on Egyptian history and language, drawing on his extensive experience in the field.
