opinions

how would i be able to find academic opinions on the discovery of the tomb of king tut?

JSTOR is a really good site - you only need to have your institutional email and it should be free of charge. There's so much on there. There's documents, photos, artwork, all sorts of things that you can download, cite, compare, etc.

The British library should also have records and documents although I know they've really been struggling with tech problems since January so the reading rooms may not be fully up and running (that being said they do have of their collection online). The National Archives too.

I assume this is for some kind of coursework?? Find books on the period (both the discovery so 19(?)th Century, and the tomb building) and then that way you can start to get some evaluation from commentators and historians. Most of these books also then have footnotes and bibliographies which can help you find more historians who have opinions on it.

Idk how many views you need but make sure they're both primary and secondary and don't all agree with each other. You could get main figures commenting on it (such as the archeologists discovering the tomb) and then the opinions of smaller people (like the Egyptians, either historians or locals) to contrast. Don't just get mainstream thinkers.

If this is entirely unhelpful (in which case, I apologise) , your teacher/lecturer may have some tips.

I hope this helps. :smile:
