Mummy of Tutankhamun, Tomb of Tutankhamun, Valley of the Kings

Tutankhamun was the 13th pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom of Egypt (reigned c. 1334-1325 BCE), making his mummy over 3,300 years old. Tutankhamun's mummy is the only royal mummy to have been found entirely undisturbed. The burial chamber was found in 1922 by English Egyptologist Howard Carter, but was not opened until a year later. Two years passed between the discovery of the tomb and that of the mummy and its famous death mask. Most of the tomb's goods were sent to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, although Tutankhamun's mummy and sarcophagus are still on display in the tomb.
