Top ten archaeological discoveries
Tutankhamun's tomb
Tutankhamun Sarcophagus
The great Tutankhamun owes his fame to Howard Carter and George Herbert's discovery of his tomb in 1922. KV62 (the Egyptian designation for the tomb) was uncovered fairly intact in the Valley of the Kings.
Although small in size and seemingly intended for a private individual rather than royalty, the tomb contained over 2,000 pieces of valuable antiques. Tutankhamun remains a worldwide symbol and sparks renewed interest in Ancient Egypt every day. It was a great find that contributed a significant deal to archaeological awareness.
