The expedition which led to the awesome discovery of King Tut's tomb - in November, 1922 - was funded by George Herbert.
His official title (after the death of his father) was the 5th Earl of Carnarvon. Inheriting his ancestral home - Highclere Castle, located in Newbury, West Berkshire, England (which is south of Oxford and west of London) - the 5th Earl had great prestige but not much cash. When he married Almina Wombwell - the goddaughter of Alfred de Rothschild, an exceedingly wealthy banker - the money problems of George Edward Stanhope Molyneux Herbert were over. By signing an agreement to mary the girl actually believed to be Rothschild's daughter, the 5th Earl had access to the annual sum of £6.5 million (in today's currency). That converts to a bit more than $10 million every year Even with income like that, however, it took a great deal of money to fund Howard Carter's Egyptian excavations. At last have made wonderful discovery in the Valley.
