The Tomb of Tut.Ankh.Amen Quotes

“Among all that regal splendour, that royal magnificence - everywhere the glint of gold - there was nothing so beautiful as those few withered flowers, still retaining their tinge of colour. They told us what a short period three thousand three hundred years really was - but Yesterday and the Morrow. In fact, that little touch of nature made that ancient and our modern civilization kin.”
― Howard Carter, The Tomb of Tut.Ankh.Amen: Vol. 2 The Burial Chamber
