On 4 November 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter made a historic breakthrough in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings by rediscovering the remarkably preserved tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
This unparalleled discovery marked a watershed in Egyptology, as Carter and his team uncovered treasures untouched for over three millennia, their dazzling opulence revealing fascinating insights into the life and death of the young pharaoh.
The tomb, filled with splendid artifacts and Tutankhamun’s golden sarcophagus, brought global attention to Egypt’s ancient heritage, sparking a cultural phenomenon often referred to as "Tut-mania."
Carter’s discovery not only reshaped archaeological methods but also reignited global fascination with the mystique of ancient Egypt, cementing Tutankhamun’s legacy in modern popular culture.
