The British noble who financed the expedition to explore King Tut's tomb was Lord Carnarvon, also known as George Herbert. He partnered with archaeologist Howard Carter to excavate the tomb in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt in 1922. Their discovery of the largely intact tomb of Tutankhamun made international headlines and sparked a renewed interest in Egyptian Archaeology.
