The Royal Tomb of Tutankhamun

The Royal Tomb of Tutankhamun, located in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, is a nearly intact ancient burial chamber of the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun, who reigned around 1332-1323 BCE. Discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter, it contained a wealth of artifacts, including his elaborately decorated sarcophagus and gold mask, providing vital insights into Egyptian burial practices and artistry. Despite its relatively small size, the tomb's treasures highlighted the wealth and religious beliefs of the New Kingdom period. Its discovery remains one of the most significant archaeological finds, offering a rare glimpse into ancient Egypt's royal rituals and craftsmanship.
