The 18th Dynasty tomb of Tutankhamun, discovered by Howard Carter in 1922, is the only complete and undisturbed royal burial in the Valley of the Kings worldwide. On November 4, 1922, the sarcophagus of the Golden King was opened, and on February 16, 1923, British archaeologist Howard Carter entered his coffin room, which had never been accessed in over 3000 years of history. The tomb of Tutankhamun contained over 5000 artifacts.
The discovery of King Tut's tomb
Of the 18 Royal tombs of which Khufu is the most famous and decorated, the tomb of Jingo, the 18th Dynasty tomb of Tutankhamun (ca. 1336-1327 B.C) is known around the world because it is the only royal burial in the Valley of the Kings that was complete and undisturbed when discovered several decades ago by Howard Carter in 1922.
On November 4, 1922 AD, the sarcophagus of the Golden King was opened, and on this day, February 16, 1923 AD, his coffin room was entered by none other than the British archaeologist Howard Carter, and no human had set foot on it in over 3000 years of all the remaining history. The tomb of the boy king Tutankhamun was bursting at the seams with over 5000 items or artifacts purposefully placed within it.
Vivid adornments and the day-to-day possessions of the young king were also found inside the tomb, which were characteristic of any royal court. These included items such as garments, ornaments, lotions, sticks of incense, beds, chairs, dolls, dishes made out of various materials, chariots, armaments and other articles.
In December, the initial objects were retrieved from the corpse chamber and underwent the process of cleaning the front room which took 7 weeks, and the exhibition hall was formally inaugurated in the third week of February 1923, thereafter on the fifth of April of the same year Lord Carnarvon passed away alongside the circulation of the news concerning the tomb of Tutankhamen, and this concept circulated within the society, and six months later after the demise of Lord Carnarvon, Carter went back to Egypt to continue with the second season of excavation, and on February 12, 1924 the lid a granite coffin was removed.
The tomb of King Tutankhamun (c. 1336–1327 BC), reportedly the sole undamaged royal tomb discovered in the Valley of Kings, is the most well-known example of an 18th Dynasty tomb. Howard Carter's startling 1922 discovery of gold jewelry and other jewels buried within the tomb caused it to become extremely prominent. Thanks to Tutankhamun and his burial treasures, Egypt is associated with images that are almost completely preserved. This reproduction, however, depicts a historical figure buried long after that information was created but with still-valuable treasures.
Though it is filled with great wealth, Tomb 62 of Tutankhamun located in the Valley of the Kings is small and poorly constructed compared to other tombs at this area because Tutankhamun ascended the throne as a minor and ruled for roughly nine years only. The child king's tomb is such that one can only begin to imagine the depths of splendour present in the tombs of great New Kingdom Pharaohs, such as Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, Amenhotep III, and Ramses II.
