He dispatched a message to Lord Carnarvon in Scotland, requesting that he come immediately. Two weeks later, Carnarvon and his daughter, Lady Evelyn, arrived in Luxor and met Carter. Telegrams are a type of communication. Imagine if Howard Carter had instead sent a letter to Lord Carnarvon. He would have written that he was sorry to inform him that the tomb he was working on contained nothing important. Carnarvon was stunned by this news and furious that Carter had not informed him sooner of the empty box. But he realized there was no use arguing with Carter so they set off for Egypt together. Once there, they began an extensive search for the next king of Egypt but were unable to find anything suspicious. They did find several ancient writings though which revealed that King Tut's kingdom was famous all over the world and many people were interested in seeing his death mask. This fact alone convinced Carnarvon and Carter that the young king had to be buried with extraordinary care. They also learned that the pharaohs usually were mummified after their deaths to keep them looking beautiful forever. Carnarvon returned home while Carter stayed in Egypt to work more on the tomb. After two months, he too went back home, this time without finding any trace of the missing king. Carter wrote another letter to Carnarvon explaining that there was no need to worry about what had happened to the king because he knew that someday new evidence would be found for his resurrection.
