In 1922, archaeologists discovered the tomb of Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun, and immediately, this information appeared in international newspapers and created a new interest in ancient Egyptian culture.

Among the precious artifacts found, the mask used in the burial of Pharaoh Tutankhamun (now on display at the Cairo Museum, Egypt) has become one of the symbols of ancient Egyptian civilization.

The day archaeologists discovered the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun was November 4, 1922. In the picture is the burial mask of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.

Exhibitions displaying artifacts found inside the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun have been held in many countries around the world. The deaths of some people who participated in the excavation of the Pharaoh’s tomb have become famous myths of modern times, although they have been strongly denied by the scientific community.

Contemporary cultural life and products of the media, literature, cinema, etc. have contributed to creating a supernatural and mystical story about the “curse of the Pharaohs” for those who “dare” to disturb their eternal sleep.

In 1907, British Egyptologist and archaeologist Howard Carter was sponsored by a British aristocrat named George Herbert to conduct an archaeological excavation in the “Valley of the Kings” in Egypt. Carter searched the valley for a long time but found nothing significant, which made the sponsor disappointed and angry.

In 1922, the aristocrat warned the archaeologist that he would only sponsor him for a short time, if there was still no progress, all funding would be cut off. Carter now needed a new discovery to temporarily reᴀssure the sponsor, so he sent the team back to a previously excavated site and repeated the search.

On November 4, 1922, the team unexpectedly found a staircase carved straight into the rock. The next day, the entire shape of the staircase appeared. Carter immediately called the sponsor and asked him to fly to the archaeological site in Egypt immediately.

On November 26, 1922, when the wealthy nobleman was present, Carter opened a small side door at the end of the stone staircase, leading into a tomb, holding a candle in his hand. At first, Carter saw nothing. The H๏τ air that had accumulated in the tomb for many years now rushed out, causing the candle to flicker, but when his eyes got used to the dim light, the details of the outer chamber of the tomb began to slowly appear. Golden light was everywhere. This was the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun (reigned Egypt from 1332-1323 BC).

It was discovered that this tomb had been robbed twice in ancient times, but fortunately it was still surprisingly intact. Inside the tomb, people found thousands of priceless artifacts, including the sarcophagus containing the Pharaoh’s mummy.

To make a detailed inventory of the artifacts inside the tomb, people needed a process that lasted nearly… 8 years. The pH๏τos below record the artifacts found inside the tomb that day. The tomb has 3 compartments and the sarcophagus containing the Pharaoh’s body is kept in the innermost compartment.
