Mummified body of King Tut was found on this day
English archaeologist Howard Carter entered the sealed burial chamber of the ancient Egyptian ruler King Tutankhamen on February 16, 1923, in Egypt. The chamber had a gold coffin containing the mummified body of King Tut. This was the first perfectly preserved mummy to be ever discovered. The pharaoh’s tomb also contained several treasures that were untouched for over 3,000 years.
