King Tut's tomb

King Tut's tomb, located in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, is a well-preserved burial site of the young pharaoh Tutankhamun, dating to around 1323 BC. It is famous because it largely remained unopened until its discovery in 1922 by Howard Carter. The tomb contains a wealth of artifacts, including the iconic gold Death Mask, wooden furniture, jewelry, and innermost coffins. Its discovery provided invaluable insights into ancient Egyptian burial practices and art. Despite its relatively small size, the tomb is significant for its pristine condition and the wealth of treasures that shed light on Egypt's 18th Dynasty and royal craftsmanship.
