In 1922, Howard Carter was an Egyptian scholar and archaeologist and Lord Carnarvon - an English aristocrat who discovered King Tut's tomb, ruling Egypt from 1332-1323 BC almost intact.

It was found inside the grave of thousands of priceless antiquities, including a sarcophagus containing Pharaon's mummy. And it took nearly 8 years for people to detail all the antiques inside.

Below are photos of the antiquities found inside Tutankhamun's tomb. The tomb has 3 compartments and the tomb containing Pharaong's body is kept in the innermost space.
