It’s been just over a century since British archeologist Howard Carter discovered the most prized collection of Egyptian antiquities ever found from within the tomb of King Tutankhamun. It was the only intact tomb ever discovered.
Grave robbers were fooled for nearly 3,000 years by the debris that covered King Tut's tomb, which was positioned beneath the tomb of Rameses VI.
Howard would find a host of priceless treasures within its chambers, including Tutankhamun’s gilded thrown, the Anubis Shrine, and the pharaoh’s famous death mask. Another curious and stunning piece found in the tomb was King Tut’s central pectoral scarab.
