Overview
The discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter in 1922 sparked an international fascination with Ancient Egypt. In the decades following the discovery, however, many of the pharaoh's magnificent tomb items have vanished from Egypt's museums and archives. At the new Grand Egyptian Museum, all 5,398 items are being reassembled for the first time since their discovery. Together, they shed new light on the short, eventful life of the so-called 'Boy King' and are now assisting scholars in comprehending the magnitude of Tutankhamun's impact on the ancient world.
