If you want to learn more about Tutankhamun and the ancient Egypt, head to The British Museum and visit their ‘Tutankhamun: Ancient and Modern Perspectives’ exhibition on the Ground Floor, Room 4.
The trail takes about 30 minutes and follows the story of the boy king, whose reign lasted about 9 yeas (1336 – 1327BC).
Come face-to-face with his statue as well as the pharaoh who followed him on the throne for a very short period of time and whose reign was officially deleted from history.
Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered on 26th November 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter.
Interesting facts about Tutankhamun:
- King Tut’s tomb is the most intact tomb has ever been found to this day
- His tomb was found under over 150,000 tons of rock as a protection from robbery and looters
- When Carter first peered through the tiny hole they had made, he declared the tomb to be “wonderful”. Once the mist cleared, he saw “everywhere a glint of gold”.
