“The mummy is in very bad condition because of what Carter did in the 1920s,” said Zahi Hawass, Secretary. General of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, as he leaned over the body for a long first look. Carter – Howard Carter, that is-was the British archaeologist who in 1922 discovered Tut’s tomb after years of futile searching. Its contents, though hastily ransacked in antiquity, were surprisingly complete.
They remain the richest royal collection ever found and have become part of the Pharaoh’s legend. Stunning artefacts in gold, their eternal brilliance meant to guarantee resurrection, caused a sensation at the time of the discovery – and still get the most attention. But Tut was also buried with everyday things he’d want in the afterlife : board games, a bronze razor, linen undergarments, cases of food and wine.
