A series of historic ‘snapshots’ documenting activity around the tomb of Tutankhamun, shortly after it was discovered in the early 1920s, will be revealed at auction on 31 March.<\/p>\n

The photos have not been published before, according to auctioneers at Bonhams, which plans to sell the collection in London on 31 March.<\/p>\n

Tutankhamun’s Egyptian tomb was discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922.<\/p>\n

‘We are not sure who took the photos. There are around 30 or 40 in a file,’ a Bonhams spokesman told Amateur Photographer<\/em> this morning.<\/p>\n

The treasures – which include letters and papers leading up to the discovery – hail from the collection of Egyptologist Rex Engelbach.<\/p>\n

Engelbach was the official supervisor to Carter, and Lord Carnarvon who financed the project.<\/p>\n

The collection is expected to fetch \u00a32,000-4,000.<\/p>\n
