Tomb of Tutankhamen

I created this video from some of the footage I shot during our visit to the Valley of the Kings. Tutankhamen's tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in the 1922. The tomb and its treasures are iconic of Egypt and the discovery of the tomb is still considered one of the most important archaeological discoveries to date.

All though his tomb contained some amazing treasures, the tomb itself was very small in comparison to all the other ones in the valley. I can understand why some scholars feel as though his 'tomb' might actually be an antechamber for another King or Queen. Whatever the reason, the small size of the tomb meant that the approximately 5000 artefacts that were discovered inside were stacked very tightly. These reflect the lifestyle of the royal palace, and included objects that Tutankhamun would have used in his daily life, such as clothes, jewelry, cosmetics, incense, furniture, chairs, toys, vessels made of a variety of materials, chariots, and weapons. One can only imagine what the tombs of Hatshepsut, Thutmose III, Amenhotep III, and Ramesses II contained prior to the looters stealing it all.

The white spots you'll see in the video are not dust or bugs, those are actually Spirit Orbs.
