Nov 4th 1922 - Discovery of Tomb of Tutankhamun

Today is the anniversary of the discovery of the entrance to the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun: "The entrance to King Tutankhamen's tomb was discovered in Egypt in the Valley of the Kings where the English archaeologist Howard Carter had been making extended excavations. One of Carter's labourers stumbled upon a stone step, the first step in a sunken stairway that ran down into the rock. Later in the month, Carter opened the virtually intact tomb of the largely unknown child-king Tutankhamen, who became pharaoh at age 9 and died at 19".
