Tutankhamun

Howard Carter was the one who found Tutankhamun’s tomb. He was hired by Lord Carnarvon. Howard Carter had been trying to find Tutankhamun’s tomb for a long time so Lord Carnarvon thought he was spending too much money. But Howard Carter said he would try just one more day for free. So Lord Carnarvon agreed and it just happened that he found Tutankhamun’s tomb that very day in 1922.

Their was lots of objects in King Tutankhamun’s tomb. Most of them were made out of gold. Their were over fifty pure gold objects in his tomb. They also put games in his tomb like Sennat. The Ancient Egyptians believed that in all the pharoah’s afterline they lived with the sungod. They also believed that the games in his tomb he would play on his journey to the sungod.

The two things that I can think of why this discovery is so important to the world is one, because only two tom robbers had entered his tomb so almost all the information was still in his tomb, so they know alot more about ancient Egypt then they did before. Two, because alot of people were inspirted by that find, so archeology became alot more popular.
