On November 4, archaeologists and all people involved in historical excavations celebrate King Tut Day. On this day in 1922, the tombs of a prominent ancient Egyptian ruler were found. The discovery belongs to the British archaeologist Howard Carter. He was excavating in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt and found a tomb. She was assigned the number KV62. When Carter saw that the seals on the tomb had not been broken, he knew at once that he had stumbled upon a remarkable find. Forebodings did not deceive the scientist – in front of him was the tomb of King Tutankhamun, who was a pharaoh of the 18th dynasty and died at a young age.

Despite the fact that the young pharaoh did not manage to become famous during his reign, he became the most famous ruler of Egypt within the limits of modern historical science. More than 3,500 ancient objects were found in the tomb of Tutankhamun, which told scientists a lot of interesting things about the history, traditions and customs of the Egyptians. Currently, most of the artifacts found are in the Cairo Museum.
