LUCK AND ACCIDE.T: at Thebes in 1922 when, after much hesitation and several revisions of plans, Howard Carter decided to spend that one last winter of excavation in the Valley of the Kings and located Tutankhamen's tomb in the late fall; at Thebes when, after eight weeks of futile work, one of the workers of H.E. Winbock's excavation of Meket-Re's long-looted tomb noticed stone chips trickling into a crevice and discovered twenty-four brightly painted models depicting life in ancient E.ypt; at Hierakonpolis in 1897 when, after just settling in at the site, James Quibell directed one of his men to begin digging and uncovered a copper statue of the Sixth Dynasty king, Pepy I; at Hierakonpolis when, without really looking, Jenny Mowry glanced down at a section of dirt and saw the piece of white limestone fragmentized from a First Dynasty ceremonial macehead.
