Tomb of Tutankhamun at Valley of the Kings

No photos were allowed actually in the tomb so this will have to do. Tutankhamun, while very famous now, was not a notable leader nor did he reign for long. It is the discovery of his tomb that makes him so important. It was the first completely intact tomb discovered, most others had had the treasure removed. This guys was embalmed etc as per usual. He was then put in a granite sarcophagus, then a wooden one painted gold, then a SOLID GOLD sarcophagus.... you can understand why the archaeologists got so excited when they found this one. His tomb now is fairly boring to be honest. They have placed his body (just wrapped in bandages, not in the sarcophagus) in a glass box for the world to see. It was pretty gross but kind of interesting to see how well preserved his body still is.
