Ancient Egyptian Life

Great Pharaoh - Tutankhamun

Time Capsule

King Tutankhamun came to power

at about the age of 10. He died
young, possibly from an
accident as his body shows
what scientists believe to be an
injury to the head. King Tut
and his tomb were found in
1922 fully intact, meaning that it
had not been ravaged by tomb
robbers during the thousands of
years since his death. Inside his
sarcophagus was a second smaller
one, one that was covered
in gold and blue lapis.

What you would want to leave behind in your tomb for

people to find? Illustrate and describe it here.

Almost everything in his

tomb was covered in gold.
The discovery of his
tomb brought about a
renewed interest in ancient
Egypt from the public.
All kinds of discoveries happened after Tutankhamuns tomb
was excavated. His is the most intact tomb that has ever been
unearthed and the objects preserved inside it tell a detailed story
not only of the king but of the Egypt at that time.
