Name of Museum It is believed if someone opens King Tutankhamun’s tomb, that person who opened it would be cursed and die. In 1922, Howard Carter, with Lord Carnarvon, discovered the four-roomed, disorganized, tomb of the ancient pharaoh, Tutankhamun. Tutankhamun lived from 1332 BC to 1322 BC and died at age eighteen. He is one of the greatest archeological finds ever because he is the only found mummy with his tomb untouched and he helps the world learn more about Ancient Egypt. King Tut’s tomb proves that Ancient Egypt was a complex civilization because it shows religion, a very important part of civilization. Introduction Back to Room 1

Name of Museum King Tutankhamun’s tomb helped show Egypt was a civilization because his tomb had these three religious items. First, King Tut’s tomb was a religious burial site. His tomb was a place for the pharaohs dead body to rest while his spirit went to the afterlife and became Osiris, the god of the afterlife, also inside King Tut’s tomb there were many religious items like a statue of Horus, the chief god and who the pharaoh was believed to be when he was living, finally there was food like bread found in Tut’s tomb because people brought food to the tomb because the dead person would need it in the afterlife. Second, in King Tut’s tomb there was his mummy, which was a very religious thing. Mummies were made as a way of preserving the body for the afterlife and the process of mummification is removing all the organs from the body and preparing the body for the afterlife, although you would not remove the heart in this process because the heart is needed for the judgement of if you get to live in the afterlife, of get your soul devoured by Ammit the Devourer. Third, there were canopic jars In King Tut’s tomb, which were also religious items. When the organs were removed during the process of mummification, they were placed in jars with god’s heads on them, like the intestines which are put in the jar with the god Qebehsenuef, who had a falcon head. The evidence above proves that King Tut’s tomb helps show Egypt was a complex civilization because of those three religious items. Body Paragraph Back to Room 2
