The Moment of Truth
“What the Geographic has to offer its readers is that we keep up with the scientists, so that we can get in when something is breaking news.”
—Photographer Kenneth Garrett
Something went amiss for the mummy of 26th-dynasty governor Zed-Khons-uef-ankh, whose tomb came to light in Bahariya Oasis in 1999. When archaeologists opened the outer limestone sarcophagus, and an inner one of alabaster, photographer Kenneth Garrett captured what they found—a mummy crumbled to dust.
