It’s 100 years since the discovery of #Tutankhamun’s tomb
BUT… I’m also very excited to say I have been offered (& have accepted) a place @UniOfYork to study my PhD
Took Carter 10yrs to catalogue the tomb, & It’s 10 years since my MA… hopefully won’t take me 10 years for PhD! – at Bolton, England
ALT Slightly chaotic scene of my university bedroom during my MA, papers scattered over the bed, three laptops open, and a big Kit Kat brand mug on the desk
ALT Pensive looking expression, wearing glasses, biting my time doing MA studies
ALT Archaeologist Howard Carter examines the coffin of Tutankhamun in the tomb

Day 212 of #photoaday
A piece of piano sheet music that was so quick to capitalise on the discovery of Tutankhamun that it was too early to understand the truth of the boy king
