King Tut’s Tomb, 1923
It was the tomb of King Tutankhamen, the successor of the famous Akhenaten and Smenkhkara, who were co-regents in Egypt from 1375 to 1358 B.C., that some of the greatest treasure and relics of antiquity ever unearthed were found. The New-found Tomb lies below that of Rameses VI and its discovery is a credit to the persistence and instinct of the men who have kept digging away at the mound for years after earlier explorers ceased their search, It will be interesting to learn what is in the unexplored portion of the tomb that lies beyond the second chamber. This was closely packed with the funeral paraphernalia of Tutankhamen.
Dual page map detail of King Tut’s tomb from the October 1923 issue of Popular Mechanics. The tomb was discovered one year prior.
