After Carnarvon arrived on the scene, two days later the stone door to the tomb was opened successfully. Inside the hall there is a jumble of rocks decorated with Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs on the wall next to the door.
Carter tried to open the door by chiseling stone crevice. After shifting some rocks, he made a small hole. Of the gap he put the candle to peer into the dark room behind the door.
What he saw amazed him still for a moment. He has found the tomb he is looking for twenty years, the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen.
