King+Tut's+Tomb

King Tutankhamun's tomb is buried below the suface of the Valley of Kings of Egypt (The Tomb of Tutanhamun). Howard Carter and his sponser Lord Carnarvon had spent a number of years and money searing Egypts desserts for a tomb that they weren't even sure existed. But in November, 1922 they stubbled upon an unknown tomb that had been literally untouched for over 3,000 years. Tut's tomb is not nearly the biggest or elaborate grave in Egypt, it was atually one of the smallest. As Carter and Carnarvon enter the Tombs doors they find themselfs walking up a long staircase and down a long passageway that was filled with stone and rubble ending up at a wall, Carter drilled a whole in this wall and peeked through finding the Antechamber. "Wonderful things! Everywhere the glint of gold!' He said amazed to Carnarvon. The Antechamber was filled with Treasures such as gold chairs and tables, all kinds of furniture. Today you can find the same things in this room...not the origionals... those were put in musiams and replaced with replicas. Proceeding on through the Antechamber they found an annexe across the way. Which hold more items owned by King Tutankhamun. Another room that was connected to the Antechamber was Tut's burial chamber. This, obviously, is where he lay dead in his coffin. The burial chamber is the only room in the whole tomb that was decorated. The hyrogliphics on the walls tell the story of Tut's life, leisure time and family and is the only evidence of his life ever found. His tomb lays in the middle, a giant, gold, untouched coffin. Connected to the Burial chamber is the Treasury, where all of Tut's money and other treasures lie. "King Tutankhamun was buried with over 5,400 objects in his tomb" (Tutankhamun's tomb: The thrill of discovery). There were and still are rumers that King Tut's tomb is cursed."Marrie Corelli was another one of the first explorers of Tut's tomb. She was later was bitten by a mosquito on the cheek and became very ill. Everyone thought worst care senario and thought the is was the Curse of King Tut (the curse of King Tut's Tomb).
