windbound & seasick

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence."

On Dec 27th, 1922, the first object was removed from the Tomb of Tutankhamun.

Arthur Mace, an Egyptologist that was part of Howard Carter’s team, noted this in his journal.

First box (21) moved out of tomb. Contained bead garments and sandals. Treated bad joint with balsam and removed two sandals.

Dec 27, 1922

The object in question was, as noted above, a large chest found in the antechamber.  It was decorated with scenes of Tutankhamun in battle, riding a chariot and shooting his enemies with a bow and arrow. It contained multiple clothing and jewellery items, as well as footwear and a head rest, and even an archery gauntlet.
