King Tutankamen's (or King Tut's) tomb is one of  the most famous tombs our world has ever heard of. The tomb was found by Howard Carter,who had been searching for it for 30 years.He found the tomb on November 26th,1922.

When he entered the tomb he saw unimaginable riches such as gold, jewels, and other treasures. Later on when the tomb was emptied they found items such as miniature boats(7in fact), food, games, furniture, shoes, boomerangs, and much more.  There were several coffins protecting Tut's mummy and the third coffin was made out of 2,500lbs. of gold. Today that coffin is worth about $13,000,000. Read all about Tut's Curse!
