Ten years later and with over 5,000 objects from the site documented, Burton had amassed an incredible record of photographs from that world-famous discovery.
One iconic photo from Burton's collection recreates the first view Carter had as he broke through the final door into the tomb itself.

If these were items in storage for the after life, it's not clear why modern people feel it was done in a rush, and looks messy. Perhaps it was their version of cramming suitcases and backpacks in a corner of a room - no need to make it look pretty, because it is there to be merely unpacked?

They unlock my house in 1000 years and find a flesh light

I saw his mask for real. Absolutely mesmerizing. It's just unreal.

no unboxing review?

I wish I could spend a day in thriving ancient Egypt 😍
-
It looked like part tomb, part storage unit lol
-
So King Tut 's people were horders? I know, they need everything to prepare for after life ... The moral of this lesson is, no matter how rich, powerful a person is, they can never take anything with them when they expire.

Thank you for sharing.

for some reason I kind of expected the tomb to be laid out like a heavily designed Architectural Digest spread but the photo almost reminds me of the garage of a pack rat (although the items are lavish). it would be interesting to know if items were moved simply in order to fit a variety of objects within the photo frame or how tightly packed everything had to be bc of the tomb size... I started to wonder about the volume of gold associated with the tombs because Egypt is associated with desert so it seems like it would have been difficult to find gold nearby

They buried him fast and furious then buried the entrance to his tomb thinking he would totally be forgotten. I also think that they gave him a proper burial because he restored the original Gods. Unlike his father who if I remember wasn't even mummified. he was just buried.

Amazing

In 100 years, people will talk about us seeing this video, of them seeing the archeologists seeing the pyramid.
-
B"H Does anybody realize they are desecrating the grave of the ancient ancestors? How disrespectful and it's not even people related to the dead.
-
I wish more was known about pre dynastic Egypt. A lot gets written off as myths and lore , something was going on in that area way back in the day.
-
How do we feel about excavating something that was intended to remain undisturbed for an eternity?
-
Can't even RIP around here 😂
-
they still havent found Cleopatra's tomb, what a find that would be if its intact.
-
Basing the idea that it was rushed on the photograph staged by the british photographer a month later seems a bit presumptive. Something tells me they didnt leave it where it was for a month but maybe.

I realise this is a monumental dig for archeology and history but I have always wished that this child’s grave had been left in tact the way it was intended. Blessings
