Bild från arbetet vid Tutankhamuns grav med Howard Carter i ledningen. "The work of taking down the outer shrine in the sepulchral hall has presented many difficulties. Here we see the first section - the east - of the roof in course of removal. Special tackle had to be improvised, since the confined space rendered impossible the erection of proper running tackle. The section was first raised by levers and wedges on to timber acting as a sled. After that scaffolding was erected around and under it. Next rollers were inserted underneath the sled for the purpose of running it along parallel trestles, on which it was eventually lowered into the antechamber. The roof is made of thick close timber and is of great weight. Matters were complicated by the fact that it was found, when raised, to be fitted with tongues (shown in this picture)."
