The tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62) was discovered in 1922 by the British archaeologist Howard Carter in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, Egypt. This was a major archaeological find, as Tutankhamun’s tomb was one of the only ancient Egyptian royal tombs found largely intact.

Tutankhamun was a pharaoh of the 18th dynasty who ruled from around 1332-1323 BC. He ascended the throne as a child and his reign was relatively short, only about 9 years.

The tomb contained over 5,000 artifacts, including Tutankhamun’s sarcophagus and coffins, funerary furniture, chariots, clothing, jewelry, and numerous other treasures. Many of these artifacts are now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and are major attractions for visitors.

The tomb was remarkably well-preserved compared to other royal tombs, which had been looted over the centuries. This allowed archaeologists to gain unprecedented insight into ancient Egyptian burial practices and the material culture of the New Kingdom period.
