Tutankhamun's Tomb: The Glint of Gold

The only nearly intact royal tomb from Ancient Egypt ever found.

Unsealed by Howard Carter in 1922, the tomb of the boy-king Tutankhamun created a global sensation. While other pharaohs' tombs had been looted, this one was packed with over 5,000 artifacts, including the iconic solid gold death mask. It offered a dazzling, unparalleled glimpse into the wealth and ritual of a pharaoh's journey to the afterlife.
