Discovery of Tutankhamun's Tomb

The discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922 by Howard Carter was a groundbreaking archaeological find in Egypt. Hidden in the Valley of the Kings, it was largely intact, containing a wealth of artifacts, including the young king’s richly decorated sarcophagus and treasures. This discovery provided extraordinary insight into ancient Egyptian burial practices, artistry, and history. It was significant because such well-preserved tombs were rare and offered a direct link to Egypt’s past royalty, helping to unlock centuries of cultural knowledge and fueling global interest in Egyptology.
