Tutankhamun's True Burial Chamber | Lost Treasures of Egypt

Despite his status as Pharaoh the burial chamber that Tutankhamun was given after death doesn't match the prestige and craftsmanship given to previous pharaohs. Archeologist believe they've figured out why that is.

Wiping Tut's name from the list of kings is what preserved his tomb. Tombraiders were working off a list of kings. Tut's name wasn't on it. And since Tut had a smaller tomb, anyone who got close would assume it wasn't a king's tomb.

How did they make that perfect gold face/tomb? What tools did they use? What material are the other brilliant blue colors made of in the crown?

[@andyginterblues2961]

Lapis, many semi- precious stones mined in the region, they were skilled metalworkers and jewelers. A lot of the craftmanship was performed by slaves, the Pharaohs had special "divisions" of workers whose sole duties centered around preparations for their journey to the afterlife. (Not the least of which were the pyramid/ tomb builders).

I’ve been there and it’s an insane feeling , when you keep going down the stairs

[@brettbigham8420]

I went in 1990. Spent a whole day going from tomb to tomb. So amazing. I was 25 and my mom joined me. She is the one who instilled the love of ancient Egypt in me. She sent me on a bus to Seattle to see his exhibit when it toured the US in the 70s. She was extremely claustrophobic but she overcame it for the first time to visit this tomb and a few of the others afterwards. I had to hold her hand and she needed to just stop and breath on and off, but dang that woman had strength. I'd prove my own a few days later when I went into the center of the big pyramid. OMG...it's like a quarter of a mile, at a slant, bent over at the waist (I'm over six feet and the tunnel is 4'-ish and not quite that wide in places. About 2/3 of the way in, a group of large-bodied German tourists were coming out and we had to smash up against the sides while they pushed past. They were really pushy and rushing so our faces were pushed up against the tunnel wall. For the first time ever I kind of panicked. (My hands are shaking typing this!) At times you were kind of trapped and it started to really push my limits. Hunching over like that, while on a slant, really starts to mess with your body and it begins to burn in your calves and hips, your back and neck start to ache, your head bumps into the top of the tunnel every time you trip or step wrong. It is not a pleasant experience. Finally though we stepped out into the burial chamber in the center and I was able to stand up. The air was terrible and it was hot and I was panicking about the fact I had to go back out through that terrifying tunnel. But still, you cannot help but marvel at what was every day life for the people who built this amazing tomb. And then you have to stand at the tunnel opening, gulping down air, sweating and so hot you feel like you could get light-headed. And then you have to bend over and commit to a very long, hot, airless trek back to blue sky and fresh desert air. (The city was much farther away from the Pyramids then). It took every bit of self-control I had and just remembering the experience has my stomach trembling and goosebumps on my skin. I'm proud I did it, and really freaked out at the same time. Like the time I did the giant slide at the Waterpark.(The other fourth grade teacher was doing it and his class was teasing my class that their teacher was more brave and my students looked at me with this sad sad look and so despite my absolute terror of heights, I called "Wait up Mr Hall!' and trotted up the stairs with absolute terror in my heart).

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

That Ai guy was a true villain, an usurper. He had been the first adviser of Tut, his father and the faraoh before him. He had power safely in his hands and cheated to have his way. King Tut's wife had to marry him because the couple had had no heir. She was 21 and him 61. She tried to avoid her sad fate but there was nothing she could do. The designed heir, Tut's highest rank general, was abroad fighting and he became faraoh 4 years later upon Ai's death.

[@dreamwidow4290]

i think everything taken should be put back,there is enough of pictures, literature, and what ever else stolen from burials that should be put back, except they would have to be protected, and put back in a secure manner. its the least we can do,there are 3d printers that can replicate mummies and artifacts there is no reason for them to be on display any longer. would you like it if your decendants graves were exhumed for the purpose of what ever excuse they use to gain access? or in the name of....you see, we all deserve our perminent resting place, in peace. i think it is a real tragedy that ancient tombs, and graves, and temples are being desecrated because of interest to science. maybe they should do the study at the site and re bury the dead and gravesites,tombs etc.all this for the interest of science? where do we draw the line on respecting burial grounds? where do we think we deserve to see such things? have scientists not done enough to harm this world? am i the only one who thinks this type of scientific study should be changed to examination on site? another tragedy is the terra cotta army, egyptian tombs, and other types of ignorance of intrusion. some can never be returned but even stolen art auctioned off from being stolen during ww2, these are atrocities in their own way also. family heirlooms, we can put a rover or a few on mars, send a probe outside our galaxy but we fail to recognise the importance of a persons burial site?.....it makes me sick to think no one has advocated for the return to the grave for these people and artifacts.....why?

[@gandolph999]

Wow! Love your argument. Well said and I mostly agree. But, there are complications. The egg of emptying a tomb cannot be unscramble. There was specific order and arrangement that even included fungal mold and apparent debris. Next is that the tombs were made (prepared) to be found at some later time. I think today we call such preparations time capsules (packed for others to find later). I agree with your position but the mummies are envoys (sent) from the past in a very real sense. The tombs are certainly not yet well understood to put them back together as they were found even if that was a realistic possibility. Still, I think you are right in sense that new preparations of tombs should be made to securely bury the Dead with their artifacts (when possible) to survive several thousand more years. Undisturbed. But, do we today know how to do such a thing without electricity and would we commit to such an effort? For now, temporary or final storage seems to be museums where artifacts are safer from thieves, building dams, cities, and climate change. The considerations are really complex and complicated. But, I agree with you.
