Wow! I see a movie in the making!

I find the titles to these kinds of articles amusing. Adamson no more "found" the tomb than Carter or even the diggers themselves. The tomb was found by the group after an exhaustive and methodical search of an area meticulously researched.

The diggers wouldn't have discovered the tomb unless Carter put them in the right area, Adamson wouldn't have "discovered" the tomb unless he accidentally spied them covering it up, Carter wouldn't have discovered the tomb unless Carnarvon financed him and Carnarvon wouldn't have discoverd the tomb without the approval of Egyptian authorities and the work of those who had come before them.

In fact, of all the characters involved, Adamson seems to have done the least.
