Research Remarks
| Description | Tutankhamen. Best known today as "King Tut." This pharaoh is remembered for the sensational discovery of his tomb in the 1920's by Howard Carter. His brief reign was cut short by an early death and he was interred hastily in a modest tomb in the Valley of the Kings. Tomb robbers in antiquity had distrubed an outer chamber but the royal burial was intact, the only one ever to have been found so. |
