Perhaps the most intriguing archaeological find of the early 20th century was a discovery made in the egyptian desert in the 1922 by two british archaeologists. The tomb of king tutankhamen, filled with gold furniture, fragments of gold foil and broken chariots, had remained hidden for 3,000 years. It eluded even the cleverest of tomb robbers. Through the process of mummification the remain of the 19-year-old boy king have lasted throughout the centuries, since 1325 b.c.
This amazing archaeological find began in 1907 in the valley of the kings. An american businessman found embalming materials such as linen bags and broken pottery. It was well-known that the technique of embalming (preserving the body) was used to prevent decomposition and help the mummy's soul journey to the afterlife. After unsuccessful attempts to find a long-lost tomb, british explorer howard carter and his partner lord carnarvon began digging after world war i. When carter's team discovered king tut's tomb in 1992, they learned about the world's oldest preservation technique--mummification
