One Of The Biggest Ancient Egyptian Discoveries | Lost Treasures Of Egypt | National Geographic UK

Pioneering archaeologist Howard Carter first discovered King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922. It was and still is the biggest discovery in Ancient Egypt’s antiquities. This was a milestone in Egyptology and finding the tomb with King Tut’s sarcophagus, mummy, shrines and golden masks, was more treasure than they were could have ever imagined. Carter’s detailed diary was a rare treasure in itself and Egyptologists learnt that when the iconic archaeologist first entered the tomb it was completely disorganised, which posed the question, “Was Howard Carter really the first person to discover King Tutankhamun’s tomb?” Find out the answer to this Ancient Egyptian mystery and unlock even more unseen treasure in brand new Lost Treasures of Egypt.
