In Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, British archaeologists Howard
Carter and Lord Carnarvon became the first people to enter
King Tutankhamen’s tomb in more than 3,000 years.
Tutankhamen’s sealed burial chambers were miraculously
intact, and inside was a collection of several thousand
priceless objects, including a gold coffin containing the
mummy of the teenage king.
