About this listen

 Arthur Weigall’s “The Tomb of Tiy and Akhenaton” stands as a captivating cornerstone of early 20th-century Egyptology, offering an extraordinary and exceptionally detailed firsthand account of a pivotal archaeological discovery in the storied Valley of the Kings. From the initial, tantalizing glimpse of a seemingly royal tomb entrance in January 1907 to the meticulous, often challenging process of its excavation, Weigall masterfully transports the reader directly into the sun-drenched, dust-filled trenches of ancient Thebes. His narrative is far more than a dry archaeological report; it is a vivid and engaging chronicle of a living history, a testament to the sheer thrill and painstaking effort involved in unearthing secrets buried for over three millennia.
Weigall’s account begins with the serendipitous discovery that ignited the entire endeavor. In the early days of 1907, amid the relentless heat and ancient echoes of the Valley, a team working under Theodore M. Davis stumbled upon an anomaly—a rock-cut tomb entrance that hinted at royal interment. Weigall, as Chief Inspector of Antiquities for Upper Egypt, was immediately on site, his professional curiosity undoubtedly piqued by the prospect of such a find. Egypt Middle East
