THE SECRETS OF KING TUT
English Egyptologist Howard Carter excavates the golden
sarcophagus of Tutankhamen. After a seven-year search,
Carter discovered the pharaoh’s tomb on 4 November
1922. Despite showing signs of being robbed at least
twice in antiquity, the tomb is one of the best
preserved ever found, containing over 5,000
items — including a royal chariot, a trumpet,
weapons, wall paintings and, of course,
Tutankhamen’s mummified remains.
