According to Ancient Origin, the tomb of King Tutankhamun, who ruled Egypt between 1332-1323 BC, contains more than 5,000 artifacts, many of which are intact. Photo: Pixabay.
King Tutankhamun died in 1323 BC at the age of 20. Because he died suddenly, the king’s tomb was not carefully prepared. It is only 3.68 m high, 7.68 m wide and 30.79 m long. Photo: Seethru.
Archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the tomb in 1922 in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. It is considered the most intact royal tomb ever found, providing scientists with information about the king’s material life. Photo: Wikimedia Commons.
It took Howard Carter 10 years to clean and catalog all the wealth stored in the tomb. The most notable artifact is a gold coffin, containing many layers of small coffins with one layer made entirely of solid gold. Photo: Asaf Braverman /flickr.

In addition, in the tomb there are 6 disassembled carriages and many types of weapons, shields, and daggers. Gold-plated furniture such as thrones, sofas, chairs, and beds are also placed here. Photo: Pixabay.
The tomb is full of jewelry, clothes, musical instruments, food and many other items. All the tools the king needed for his next life were placed around his body. Photo: Wikimedia Commons.
