    Howard Carter discovered King Tut's nearly intact tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1922, sparking worldwide interest in ancient Egypt. Upon finding the tomb, Carter encountered the mummy of Tutankhamun still sealed in multiple coffins filled with treasures meant to serve the king in the afterlife. Later analysis revealed new details about Tutankhamun's life and death, including that he likely died suddenly at a young age. Archaeologists' attitudes toward Egyptian artifacts and burials changed over time from one of excavation and collection to one focused more on preservation and public education.
