Tomb KV62

Tomb KV62 is the burial site of the famous Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun, located in the Valley of the Kings. Discovered in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter, it is renowned for its nearly intact interior filled with priceless artifacts, including the iconic golden death mask. The tomb is relatively small compared to others, but its significance lies in the wealth of treasures and insights into ancient Egyptian burial practices and artistry that it contains. It remains one of the most significant archaeological finds related to ancient Egypt, providing a direct connection to the tomb of a young king who ruled around 1332–1323 BCE.
