Tutankhamun: An Intact Tomb or an Identity Reassembled After a Purge?
On November 4, 1922, Howard Carter’s team found steps beneath the sand in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings. Three weeks later, Carter cut a small hole in the sealed door and looked into a room filled with chariots, a throne, ceremonial beds, and gilded statues. Inside were about 5,000 objects, presented as the nearly intact treasure of Tutankhamun, the young pharaoh who died in the fourteenth century BCE.
