The Discovery Of King Tutankhamun

The discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb is hugely significant to gaining knowledge of ancient Egyptian god-kings and Egyptian traditions. The most significant aspect of the discovery of King Tut’s tomb was that it is the most intact tomb found that enabled historians and archaeologists to learn more about mummification practices and the wealth of Egypt during the time. The studying of the remains of tomb boosts the significance of the discovery as it helped historians identify the beliefs and traditions of the ancient people. The tomb reveals an Egyptian belief in the afterlife and it gives historians and Egyptologists – people that study ancient Egypt – understanding of the possessions that the ancient kings of Egypt felt were important enough
to take to the afterlife. The discovery of the tomb also gives historical insight to burial rituals during the time and a deeper understanding of Egyptian tombs. I feel that the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb is in no doubt a significant discovery as it provides a wealth of knowledge about an ancient civilization that was a mystery for countless years.
