King Tutankhamun's tomb
King Tutankhamun's tomb, discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter, is one of the most significant archaeological finds in history. Located in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, the tomb was nearly intact and contained a wealth of artifacts, including a famous gold mask, furniture, and jewelry. These items provide insight into the life and burial practices of ancient Egyptian royalty.
The tomb, designated as KV62, was relatively small compared to other royal tombs but was filled with treasures meant to accompany the young pharaoh in the afterlife. Tutankhamun, who ruled during the 18th dynasty, became famous not only for his wealth but also for the mystery surrounding his early death at around 18 years old.
