King Tut’s Chamber had a very unusual design to it which was meant to trick people into not getting to his jewels and riches. ... Many thieves back in King Tut’s day were probably tricked by the stone walls but Howard Carter knew it exactly when he hit it. ... Finally, Carter was ready to break through a fourth sealed door into what he believed would be King Tuts tomb - the holy of holies were the pharaoh would be found in his golden casket. ... The burial chamber, where the mummy of King Tut was placed, was located in the next room. ... At the north end, the seven magic oars the king would need to take himself across the waters of the underworld were located. ... This is just one of the many, many mysteries surrounding the Boy-King. ... He was the 12th king of the 18th Dynasty and was nine years old at the time when he became the pharaoh of Egypt. ... Although he didn’t have the essential knowledge to know what to build at the time of his power as a King, everything built during his time is considered to be his work. ... Tutankhamen had an important life in Ancient Egypt’s past but the King’s life was shortened by a murder in his late teens. ... This tomb also yielded something else that had never been found in modern history - the pristine mummy of an Egyptian king, laying intact in his original burial furniture(8). ... The murderer was unknown but it was probably because of jealousy and it had to be a person of immense importance because any middle class people would not be allowed anywhere close to the King. Tutankhamun was King approximately from 1336 to 1327 B. ...
King Tutankhamun’s tomb today is still intact and it is a museum where people can visit and experience to a small degree of what Howard Carter walked into for the first time.
