Exploring the Lasting Legacy of Tutankhamun’s Tomb
Tutankhamun, the final pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty in ancient Egypt, lies in a tomb discovered in 1922, boasting the iconic golden mask, a symbol of Egypt, now in Cairo’s Egyptian Museum. His sarcophagus represents global art’s pinnacle.
Contrary to expectations for royalty, Tutankhamun’s tomb was modest and twice looted, later restored. Archaeologists unearthed over 5300 treasures, including a gold coffin, thrones, and ancient trumpets, underlining the young king’s eternal splendor.
