The Discovery of KING TUT | The Antechamber

In November 1922, after five years of searching, Howard Carter and his patron Lord Carnarvon finally discovered the last resting place of Tutankhamun. His tomb was found directly beneath the tomb of Ramesses VI, which had been built much later on. As a result, the debris from the construction had been dumped into the entrance to Tutankhamun’s tomb – a stroke of luck for us today, since the boy king’s tomb does remained intact and hidden for more than 3,000 years.

This is the antechamber, looking exactly as it did when Howard Carter found it. Inside this chamber alone, Carter and other members of his excavation team found and recorded almost 700 objects: strange-looking animal figures, statues and gold – everywhere the brilliant glint of gold!

Finally someone talking about the items found in the tomb. There were some 5, 000 items and yet the public only knows of a dozen or two.

It is so impressive how Egyptian History is loved and admired throughout the time. 😇

Love it! And I take it those are are replications of the original. But still beautiful! :) And didn't know that the chamber had been broken into before Howard Carter's and Lord Carnarvon's discovery of it. . Lucky for some reason, they only took a few items and didn't hoard the pieces. Something or someone must have stopped them. Thank God!
