Howard Carter - the right archaeologist at the right time

I am sure that most people know Howard Carter's biography fairly well, but it is nice to see him being remembered in the context of the Tutankhamun exhibition: "Howard Carter was a man who had a talent for being in the right place at the right time.The name may not ring a bell, but Carter was the man who discovered, uncovered, recorded and preserved the tomb of King Tutankhamun, says Jennifer Wegner, a research scientist in the Egypt section of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. In his late teens, the London-born Carter was a talented artist who came to the attention of Flinders Petrie, a noted turn-of-the-century anthropologist. He was still a teen when he began to accompany Petrie on Egyptian digs, recording the discoveries in sketches and watercolors."
