King Tut’s Tomb

A team led by Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922 that made news all over the world. When Howard and his team started the exploration they found exotic treasure, including Tutankhamun’s death mask, which is considered as an icon. Carter wrote his experience in his diary, “As one’s eyes became accustomed to the glimmer of light, the interior of the chamber gradually loomed before one, with its strange and wonderful medley of extraordinary and beautiful objects heaped upon one another.”
