Why is Tutankhamun's tomb's discovery so important?
The tomb of King Tutankhamun is one among the foremost famous due to its well-known discovery by Howard Carter , a British archaeologist. Carter excavated within the Valley of the Kings for eleven years before he discovered Tut's tomb in 1922. Tutankhamun wasn't an especially important king, but his tomb was the sole royal burial found intact in time. The tomb was important because it let archaeologists record what an Egyptian king's tomb seemed like and learn more about ancient Egypt.
When the discovery was made, along with Howard Carter was his financer Carnarvon. Carter peers inside the chamber and Carnarvon asks him whether he can see anything. To which Carter famously replies, "Yes, I can see wonderful things". Lost for over 3000 years, Carter's discovery is considered as one of the greatest archaeological achievement of all times.
After the discovery of King Tut's mummy and his golden belongings, there was a pandemic of Plague. Many think that it is was the curse of the Pharoahs which states that "Cursed be those who disturb the rest of the Pharoah. They that shall break the seal of this tomb shall meet death by a disease that no doctor can cure." Many people find practical reasons for these and many believe in the curse.
This was the most intact tomb ever found in Egypt. It also had the most beautiful burial mask. This helped historians to understand more about the past ancient life of Egyptians. With the tomb, archaeologists also found over 5,000 artefacts including chariots and other furnitures made of gold. Due to all above stated reasons, King Tutankhamun's tomb's discovery is considered very significant.
Forget about plague, the coronavirus pandemic is still there. So stay safe and keeping reading.

I thought it would be better not to delete or revamp these posts, even if they suck. The bitter truth is that old works always suck, but I take that as a positive tool to convey that I am growing. Besides there's no better way to showcase my journey without these old, messy, poorly written posts!
