Tomb of King Tutankhamun (Tut)

Egypt begins restoring King Tut’s coffin

(4 Aug 2019) Egypt said it had started the first-ever restoration on the gold-covered sarcophagus of the famed boy pharaoh Tutankhamun, ahead of the country's new museum opening next year.
Antiquities Minister Khaled el-Anany said on Sunday work on the outermost coffin, made of wood and gilded with gold, will take at least eight months.
He said that was because the state of conservation was very fragile, as it was never restored since 1922, when British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the intact 3,000-year-old tomb and the treasures it held.
The coffin had remained in the tomb until July, when it was moved to the new Grand Egyptian Museum, being built near the famed pyramids of Giza outside Cairo.
Tutankhamun ascended the throne at age nine, ruling until his death at the age 18 or 19.

The King Tutankhamun.. From His Tomb, Valley Of The Kings, West Bank, Luxor.

Video By Dr. Amr S. El-Kady

Nefertiti's tomb hiding behind King Tut's?

Archaeologists in Egypt could be on the brink of solving an ancient mystery. They discovered markings on walls inside the tomb of King Tut. They might be concealing doorways to what some believe is the tomb of a long lost queen. Alex Ortiz reports from Luxor, Egypt.

Restoration of King Tut's coffin to take up to nine months

(22 Sep 2019) RESTORATION OF KING TUT'S COFFIN TO TAKE UP TO NINE MONTHS
Khaled el-Anany, Egypt's antiquities minister, told reporters on Saturday that the restoration of the outermost coffin of King Tutankhamun will take seven to nine months.
El-Anany explained the restoration would take that long because it was in a fragile state of conservation, ever since its discovery in the tomb of KIng Tut in 1922.
The golden coffin arrived at Giza's new Grand Egyptian Museum six weeks ago from the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, in Tahrir Square, Cairo.
The Minister said the coffin will be displayed alongside other golden coffins and artefacts of King Tut in the Grand Egyptian Museum, which is due to open in the last quarter of 2020.
For many, King Tut is the ultimate symbol of ancient Egypt's glory.
Howard Carter discovered the pharaoh's nearly-intact tomb in 1922 in the Valley of the Kings, located on the west bank of the Nile River in Luxor.

Valley of the Kings:

The Egyptian belief that To speak the name of the dead is to make him live again is certainly carried out in the building of the tombs. The king's formal names and titles are inscribed in his tomb along with his images and statues. Beginning with the 18th Dynasty and ending with the 20th, the kings abandoned the Memphis area and built their tombs in Thebes. Also abandoned were the pyramid style tombs. Most of the tombs were cut into the limestone following a similar pattern: three corridors, an antechamber and a sunken sarcophagus chamber. These catacombs were harder to rob and were more easily concealed. Construction usually lasted six years, beginning with the new reign. The text in the tombs are from the Book of the Dead, the Book of the Gates and the Book of the Underworld.

Tutankhamun
Though small and unimpressive, Tutankhamun's Tomb is probably the most famous, due to its late discovery. Howard Carter's description upon opening the tomb in 1922 was, At first I could see nothing, the hot air escaping from the chamber causing the candle flames to flicker, but presently, as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues and gold - everywhere the glint of gold. For the moment - an eternity it must have seemed to the others standing by - I was dumb with amazement, and when Lord Carnarvon, unable to stand the suspense any longer, inquired anxiously, 'Can you see anything?' it was all I could do to get out the words, Yes, wonderful things.' The royal seal on the door was found intact. The first three chambers were unadorned, with evidence of early entrance through one of the outside walls. The next chamber contained most of the funerary objects. The sarcophagus was four guilded wooden shrines, one inside the other, within which lay the stone sarcophagus, three mummiform coffins, the inner one being solid gold, and then the mummy. Haste can be seen in the reliefs and the sarcophagus, due to the fact that Tutankhamun died at only 19 years of age following a brief reign. Though extremely impressive to the modern world, the treasures of Tutankhamun must have paled when compared to the tombs of the great Pharaohs that ruled for many years during Egypt's golden age.

Damage from tourists to King Tut's tomb restored

(31 Jan 2019) The tomb of Egypt's famed boy pharaoh Tutankhamun has undergone restoration to help minimise damage by tourists.
The work, done by the Getty Conservation Institute after years of research and officially presented Thursday, aims to minimise scratches, dust damage and microbiological growth from breath and humidity brought in by tourists.
Neville Agnew, who led the conservation project, told the Associated Press that the task had been carried out for a period of more than 10 years.
Addressing crowds in Luxor on Thursday, former Egyptian Minister of Antiquities Affairs Zahi Hawass, referred to the work as one of the best studied research projects that's ever been done in Egypt.
The nearly intact tomb of King Tut, who ruled Egypt more than 3,000 years ago, was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter in the Valley of the Kings, located on the west bank of the Nile River in Luxor.
For many, King Tut embodies ancient Egypt's glory, because his tomb was packed with the glittering wealth of the 18th Dynasty, which ruled from 1569 to 1315 BC.

Rare Look Inside King Tut's Tomb (Mummy & Sarcophagus)

First of various videos around the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt. In this video, we can see what's left of the original tomb of King Tutankhamun (King Tut), including the mummy and sarcophagus.

The guards there insisted that the sarcophagus seen in this footage is the original famous gold one upon asking several times. When I was in Cairo, I couldn't find it at the museum, contrary to what the internet says.

NOTE: I highly respect Egyptian culture and specifically ancient Egyptian culture. This video is for educational purposes since everybody in the world deserves to see this before it fades away like many of the other ancient Egyptian sites.

CAIRO EGYPT & LUXOR 1940s TRAVELOGUE MOVIE GREAT PYRAMID KING TUT 85984

Made by Castle Films, Land of the Pyramids shows views of Egypt and Cairo as it appeared in the 1940s when it was a shining example of 20th Century progress. The film opens with a stunning image -- a modern airliner flying past the Great Pyramid. At 1:00 modern Cairo is shown with its train station. A long camel train brings goods into the city. At 1:40 there are street scenes in Cairo, and a policeman directs traffic. At 1:50 the entrance and interior scenes of the famed Shepheard's Hotel is seen. Shepheard's Hotel was the leading hotel in Cairo and one of the most celebrated hotels in the world from the middle of the 19th century until it was burned down in 1952 in the Cairo Fire. Five years after the original hotel was destroyed, a new one was built nearby and was named the Shepheard Hotel.

At 2:40, the film shows the recovered treasures from the tomb of King Tut or King Tutankhamun at the Egyptian Museum. Sarcophagus and coffins are shown, as well as a perfume vase made of alabaster. Tutankhamun was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom or sometimes the New Empire Period. He has, since his discovery, been colloquially referred to as King Tut.

At 3:28, more street scenes are seen. Stone masons are shown repairing buildings, and an electric trolley car is shown. At 4:00, the pyramids are seen through the trolley windows and a Muslim woman is shown riding the trolley, adjusting the prayer wheel on her nose.

At 4:30, a camel caravan moves through the desert. At 4:55, Luxor is seen with a 4,000 year old mummy wrapped in tattered linen removed from an archaeological site. At 5:10, excavation of a tomb is seen. Scenes of ancient temples and tombs in the Valley of The Kings are shown at 5:40.

At 6:45, horse racing at the Gezird Sporting Club is shown. At 7:18 the Mosque of Muhammad Ali is shown, and at 7:26 the suburbs of the city with modern apartment buildings. At 7:44, a night club is seen in Cairo with club patrons sucking on water pipes watching a belly dancer.

Egypt Says 90 Percent Chance of Hidden Rooms in King Tut Tomb

Egypt on Saturday said there is a 90 percent chance that hidden chambers will be found within King Tutankhamun’s tomb, based on the preliminary results of a new exploration of the 3,300-year-old mausoleum.

Researchers say the discovery of a new chamber could shine new light on one of ancient Egypt’s most turbulent times, and one prominent researcher has theorized that the remains of Queen Nefertiti might be inside.

Egypt began the search for the hidden chamber last week. Announcing the results of three days of testing in the southern city of Luxor, Antiquities Minister Mamdouh el-Damaty said the findings will be sent to Japan for a monthlong analysis before the search is resumed.

Luxor, in southern Egypt, served as the Pharaonic capital in ancient times, and is home to sprawling temples and several ancient tombs.

British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves theorizes that Tutankhamun, better known as King Tut, who died at the age of 19, may have been rushed into an outer chamber of what was originally Nefertiti’s tomb. Famed for her beauty, Nefertiti was the subject of a famous 3,300-year-old bust.

Reeves reached his theory after high-resolution images discovered what he said were straight lines in King Tut’s tomb. These lines, previously hidden by color and the stones’ texture, indicate the presence of a sealed chamber, he said. The images were later broadcast live on national television last September.

Nefertiti was the primary wife of the Pharaoh Akhenaten, who unsuccessfully attempted to switch Egypt to an early form of monotheism. Akhenaten was succeeded by a pharaoh referred to as Smenkhare and then Tut, who is widely believed to have been Akhenaten’s son.

Tut, Nefertiti, and Akhenaten’s family ruled Egypt during one of its most turbulent times, which ended with a military takeover by Egypt’s top general at the time, Horemheb. The whole family’s names were wiped out from official records later on.

Reeves believes that Smenkhare is actually Nefertiti.

This is the second find to be announced this week. On Tuesday, el-Damaty said the Austrian Archaeological Institute discovered a “giant fence” dating back over 3,500 years at the site of another ancient capital city, Avaris. The sandstone fence is least 500 meters long and 7 meters thick, antiquities official Mahmoud Afifi said.
