Discovery of the tomb The breakthrough: After years of searching, Carter's team found the top step of a staircase on November 4, 1922. Unveiling the tomb: The team cleared the staircase, which led to a sealed doorway. In late November 1922, Carter, with his benefactor Lord Carnarvon, broke a small hole in the door.
