My Story:

Howard Carter had a quixotic quest to find King Tut. He searched
through empty dusty Egyptian catacombs, following every real lead and hoaxes.
But this was recipe for poverty. As an impoverished archaeologist,
he lived in a broken down condominium and ate er satz hamburger.
Then in April 1922,he found the tomb of King Tut, rocketing him
onto the list of luminaries.
His massive treatise on the discovery of the tomb became his famous
oeuvre.

and fake lead.
But this was a formula for poverty. As a penniless archaeologist,

the list of the famous.
His massive volume on the discovery of the tomb became his life’s work.
