Hussein Abdul Rasoul

Hussein Abdul Rasoul (Egyptian Arabic: حسين عبد الرسول; was an Egyptian born in Kurna, Luxor. It is not known exactly when he was born, but it can be guessed that he was born in 1910. Known as the "Water Boy", Hussein was part of the team that discovered Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings, led by archaeologist Howard Carter.

Egyptian workers like Hussein have been marginalized in archaeological discoveries for decades. Carter never explicitly mentions Hussein by name in his memoirs, though Lee Keedick, the organizer of Carter's American lecture tour, said Carter attributed the discovery to an unnamed boy carrying water for the workmen. Many recent accounts, such as the 2018 book Tutankhamun: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh by Egyptologist Zahi Hawass, have identified the water boy as Hussein Abdel Rasoul, a member of a prominent local family. Hawass says he heard the story from Rasoul himself.
