Not long after the young king died, around 1332 BCE, his name and reign fell into obscurity for more than 3,200 years. That changed, however, on November 4, 1922, when Howard Carter located this royal burial in the Valley of the King. Now, Tutankhamun’s name, history, and treasures are known worldwide. How did it happen?

Celebrate the centenary of the discovery of King Tut’s tomb.
