What would Tutankhamun discoverer Howard Carter say about Space archaeology?


Eye in the sky on ancient Egypt's hidden secrets


What would Howard Carter, discoverer of Tutankhamun's tomb, have made of the new world of satellite technology? Would he have called it archaeology by proxy? Instead of peering by candlelight through a hole in a wall to view the hoard of treasures inside Tutankhamun’s tomb chamber, archaeologists today are peering down from space to see the treasures below the sand and in answer to the question “can you see anything?” they are saying “wonderful things!”

(Excerpt from the forthcoming Anson Hunter novel - 'Egypt Eyes', Number #5 in the Egypt adventure thriller series of investigative novels.)
