# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Howard Carter was born on 9 May 1874 in Britain and trained as an Egyptologist at a time when the Valley of the Kings had been picked nearly clean by centuries of looters and diggers. In November 1922, after years of fruitless excavation, he discovered the intact tomb of the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Tutankhamun — the best-preserved pharaonic tomb ever found in the Valley, a chamber still sealed since antiquity and crammed with treasures that rewrote what the world knew about ancient Egypt. The find made him famous overnight, though the painstaking work of cataloging and emptying the tomb would consume the next decade of his life. He died on 2 March 1939.
