A descoberta do túmulo de TutanKamom:
"26 November 1922: The discovery of Pharaoh Tutankhamen’s tomb by Howard Carter ignites Egyptomania worldwide. Carter remembered the discovery and his famous words about the tomb’s “wonderful things:”
At first I could see nothing, the hot air escaping from the chamber causing the candle flame to flicker, but presently, as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold – everywhere the glint of gold. For the moment – an eternity it seemed to the others standing by – I was struck dumb with amazement, and when Lord Carnarvon, unable to stand the suspense any longer, inquired anxiously, “Can you see anything?” it was all I could do to get out the words, “Yes, wonderful things.” (Carter 141–42)"

A proximidade à data de 26 de Novembro, curiosamente um domingo e a inevitável vontade de regressar ao Egipto.
