What important historic artifact was found in November of 1922?
Correct answer: King Tutankhamun's tomb

Interesting new info on King Tut. He was suffered from a deformaty in his legs as well as other abnormalities that are associated with inbreeding. Fascinating history.

What is astounding are the treasures discovered considering he was an unimportant pharaoh. His ambitious predecessors had their majestic tombs ransacked over millennia, so one can only imagine the enormous wealth originally buried with them. Tut was lucky in that his escaped pillaging so today we think of him as important. He wasn't in his day.

Angers me to think that people feel it's ok to disturb the dead, empty his tomb and take every he stood for and display it. Im not sure what I'd do if someone dug up my ancestors. Put little Tuts back I say. RIP

I saw the tomb artifacts when it was on tour in the 1970s... beautiful made with gold and precious stones.

DistressedHunter8576, poor kid was in pain his entire life. Not only did he have buck teeth and a flat head, he had extra wide hips and his left foot was a club foot. He was unable to spawn children because of do many years of inbreeding. His wife, the mother of 2 stillborn daughters found in his tomb, was also his half sister.
They wanted to keep the blood pure and didn't understand what happens when there's too much inbreeding. Tut's parents were full blood brother a d sister.

WaldoLydeker, Because he was a "lesser" Pharaoh and Pharoah Horemheb, who came after Tut, wanted to get rid of Tutankhamun's father, who was Akhenaten and got rid of all of the
God's except the Aten, or midday sun, and everything to do with the "Heretic King" he erased the names of Akhenaten, Tutankhamun and Tut's Vizier, Ky.
Then a flash flood pushed
boulders and debris over
Tutankhamun's tomb.
It was only after one of the workers saw a Shabti with Tutankhamun's name on it.

Centenarian, there is no curse. A newspaper was trying to sell newspapers and made the curse up

IT WAS SAID THAT THERE WAS A CURSE ON ANYONE WHO DISTURBED HIS TOMB. THE PERSON WHO FUNDED CARTERS DIG WAS REPORTED TO HAVE DIED NOT LONG AFTER.
arohanui
not long after his death and we'll before Carter's discovery! what a wonderfully daft phrase covering thousands of years 🤣
arohanui
Centenarian, was a total myth
arohanui
Marshall, it would just lead to more pillaging
Max
there is a movie made about him
GraceSpace
Player Elf Council, Because of its age etc. I believe His Mummified body is lying, in pressured case, in the New Cairo Museum 😉
GraceSpace
Gary, Science has 'conveniently proved' he wasn't murdered and I also believe He was ....
GraceSpace
Centenarian, it has been disproved 😉
GraceSpace
WaldoLydeker, Well He certainly IS Now eh 😉
Melode
there was a story about tutankamun cursing anyone who disturbs his tomb. the man lord carnarven who funded Howard carter's work was mysteriously ill after the tombwas opened.
TC

Did anyone else look at the picture and initially look for the answer "Captain America's shield"?
Player #7848285
kinnikat, I went to Seattle to see the King Tut exhibit when I was 12.
Imphx
Have been fortunate enough to be in it.....so when I die 30 years from now, blame the curse!
Ruthie
Player #10051217, partly true, discovery and entry to the tomb were on different dates.
MeulemansF
I saw the artifacts in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo last year, very impressive! Definitely considering that, as mentioned by another commenter, he was not a very important Pharaoh.
Player #16973323
I saw his mummified body in a glass case in his tomb in the Valley of the Kings a few years ago. At least it was supposed to be him. lol

King Tuts tomb was discovered on 26th November, 1922.
Gary
they believe King Tut did not die a natural death but was murdered by fracturing his skull at the age of 19 one of the shortest reigns in Egyptian history.
