On November 4, 1922, archaeologists dug up the old tomb of King Tutankhamun. Here are some of the most amazing things that were found in his tomb. 

Priceless treasures!

The Face of Death Mask

• The mask is the most well-known relic that was discovered in King’s tomb.
• It measured 21 inches long and weighed nearly 10 kilogrammes.
• The mask was manufactured primarily from gold inlaid with semiprecious stones and coloured glass paste.
• The mask depicts Tutankhamun wearing a vulture and a cobra on his headdress.

Daggers

• When Tutankhamun was finally laid to rest, both an iron and a gold-bladed dagger were found in his tomb.
• Experts say that the dagger with the iron blade was found in Tutankhamun’s right thigh.
• Meteorite iron was used to make the dagger.
• This means that the iron came from somewhere other than Earth.
• According to what the experts said, the researchers found the gold-bladed dagger above Tutankhamun’s stomach.

• According to archaeologists, Tutankhamun’s tomb contained at least four different types of board games.
• The boards and game pieces that were discovered in the tomb were fashioned of various materials, including ivory.
• The boards appear to have been built for “senet” and “game of twenty.”
• The rules for neither of these games are totally transparent.
• It is assumed senet was played on a board with 30 squares.
• The objective “was to safely guide all the pieces off the board while stopping the opponent from doing the same.”
