King Tut was a pharoh back in Ancient Egypt times. He wasn’t talked about much, until his tomb was discovered in 1939 because this discovery put another puzzle piece in the puzzle, but created many more missing pieces.

Recent radar scans in Luxor show evidence of two previously unknown chambers that connect to the tomb of Tutankhamun. The scans suggest this with 90% certainty, and they also suggest that the chambers contain organic matter and metal. While the prospect of fresh tombs that have been untouched for millennia already arouses excitement among anthropologists, archeologists, and many more, there is speculation that Queen Nefertiti's remains may be found in one of the chambers. While Dr. Mamdouh Eldamaty, Egypt’s antiquities minister, suggests that the remains could also be of the young pharaoh’s mother or sister, he says that this could still be the discovery of the century, much like Tutankhamun’s tomb was in the 1900s. Still, there is debate

The subsequent excavated of the site by Carter and his team revealed the greatest ever treasure found from an Egyptian tomb and showed the existence of Tutankhamun.

A British man from Highclere castle in Britain, was about to fund one of the greatest expeditions in the world. His name was Lord Carnarvon and he was meeting with a great archeologist Dr. Howard Carter. “Hello young sir,” Lord Carnarvon said as Howard Carter walked through the huge front door.
The discovery of Tutankhamun’s Tomb by Howard Carter in 1922 revealed an astonishing quantity of contents that had not been touched in over 3000 years. The contents of which Tutankhamun’s tomb concealed, such as wall paintings, golden statues, Royal Regalia, Pharaonic sculptures, and numerous other archaeological evidence, provides information that depicts Ancient Egypt and specifically, the role of a New Kingdom Pharaoh, and thus, is imperative for archeologists and Egyptologists working to explain Ancient Egypt. Throughout Ancient Egypt, the role of a New Kingdom Pharaoh was extensive, as the Pharaoh was charged with providing and protecting his people.

The Babylonians were ancient people that lived in Babylon, founded in 1894 BC. Their origins are from the ancient Mesopotamia whose ruins lie in modern-day Iraq. These people were known as some of the first to start civilization. The Babylonians believed in many things, one of those things being heroes. The Babylonians did not believe in fictional characters with costumes and powers. That used their powers to fight crime or perform heroic acts. The Babylonian culture was very different. A Babylonian hero is simply a human, friend, who shows fear, pain, compassion, sympathy, empathy and selflessness.

His death mask was an important artefact in history. It was bright, shiny yellow and blue. It was heavy (nearly 11 kilograms) and made of actual gold as well as lapis lazuli.

The mask was found by a British Egyptologist called Howard Carter in 1925 in tomb KV62. This was one of the biggest finds of the century. Howard Carter was actually running out of money for
Discovered by Howard Carter in 1922, the tomb of King Tutankhamen is one of the most important archaeological discoveries in history. The unearthing of the tomb was the result of years of works that was painstaking and that was also hard. Just like ay other important discovery. Howard Carter had first come to the Valley of the Tombs in 1891. To sift the sands and search for hidden treasures. Howard Carter's dream--indeed, the dream of every Egyptologist-- was that he would discover a tomb. A tomb prey to which had been unopened since antiquity, a tomb which had fallen prey to graverobbers.Lord Carnarvon, who was a British nobleman who was interested in archaeology, financed Carter's archaeological digs. Years of work turned up a few interesting
