“The team from the Egyptian Exploration Society...took out each block one at a time, carried them up to the surface and reconstructed the entire tomb in a pit near the same site...So as beautiful as it is today, it was lost to history for all these years.”
—Photographer Kenneth Garrett
From his richly decorated tomb at Saqqara, a man named Maya—King Tut's treasurer—worships the gods in a relief. Even an accountant, if he was close to the king, got the royal treatment in death.
