Tutankhamen, The Untold Story, Thomas Hoving, 1978, Simon & Schuster. Chap 7, pp. 82-83, “Tourists began to show up and within days of the discovery...a flood of cables, letters of congratulations, inquiries, and offers of help descended on him(Carter).” also the story of Carter’s canary. Chap 15, “Tutankhamen, LTD.”, pp. 152-153, “...experiencing increasing difficulties with the press. The scene at the tomb was bedlam.” in Jan 1922. Chap 16, pp. 158, “...the onslaught of the press and tens of thousands of visitors who rushed to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings.” almost tore the Egyptian Antiquities Service “to shreds,” with complaints from the press and tourists who also sought permits to visit the site. this also put an incredible stress on the facilities available in Luxor for the dispatch office, lodging, food, and other supplies.
