The fake of Tut Ench Amun’s grave, forgery by Howard Carter, Autist

Not sure how much of that was translated correctly, but a lot of that evidence was weak:

* how people look at a camera when their photograph is taken, particularly in the early 1920s, does not provide evidence that they're hiding a big secret

* the implication that Tutankhamun's skull is a clay model is just ridiculous (link)

Much of what he said can easily be tested (chemical analysis, carbon dating, spectroscopy etc).

I'm surprised that actual evidence of Howard Carter's dishonesty wasn't presented:

* artefacts he took from the excavation without authorisation (link)

* the evidence (hearsay evidence, admittedly) that he was secretly gay - link

Mainly he says the whole
Discovery was staged. The egypt's did NOT
Put tut anch in this dirty hole.
And the paintings were from carter
Himself.

Seems unlikely - but if Howard Carter did put together a fake Tutankhamun burial chamber, he deserves a HUGE amount of credit for pulling this off in the Valley Of The Kings right under the noses of the Egyptian authorities, and doing it so well that it has fooled the entire world for 100 years!

I have just done an EXTENSIVE two minute research programme about Norman Investigativ: I found very little. Here's his YouTube page, to which he's been posting videos since 2006. Looks to me as though he's being sensational. I trust the specialists over him, I'm afraid.

He says Carter had no scientific profession and education. He was an autistic painter.
He said Carter was famous for painting in the style like the egypts done it. They took him to Egypt so he can copy the hieroglyphs.
Because he was very good in repainting the things he saw.

Then they came to the conclusion that they could repaint a whole burial chamber because Carter could imitate the style.

His skill at Egyptology is readily explainable - read his Wikipedia article.

It seems unlikely to me that he was autistic. What evidence is there that he was? Can you give me any examples of autistic people pulling of big scams? I think that would be unlikely - a good scammer needs razor-sharp social skills, and, unfortunately, this trait is not generally associated with autism.

There are a lot of problems with that story when you learn about Howard Carter by reading his Wikipedia article.

Perhaps we should have a poll: which of the following is more likely:

1. a YouTuber who makes sensational videos, and who has never done anything about Howard Carter before, has suddenly stumbled upon his faking of the whole Tutankhamun burial chamber, not noticed by anyone before in the previous 100 years (including genuine experts and people who have done scans of the skull)?

2. a YouTuber who makes sensational videos, and who has never done anything about Howard Carter before, has made a click-bait video claiming that the Tutankhamun burial chamber was entirely faked?

My vote is for (2).

As game lovers, we should note that Tutankhamun is a world champion very far beyond the nearest competitor in the ever popular game, especially among younger children, of hide-and-seek: he remained hidden for well over 3000 years!
