Name of Museum Over 5,000 items were found in King Tutankhamun’s tomb, in the Valley of the Kings. King Tut’s tomb is a four room burial chamber which contained the dead king’s mummified body. The tomb is decorated with many hieroglyphics, scenes depicting the afterlife, and statues of King Tut. King Tutankhamun was an unimportant king, but he became famous after his tomb was found in 1922, about six hundred years after King Tut’s burial in Howard Carter is the archaeologist who found the tomb. The ancient Egyptians were very religious because they had a very clear idea of the afterlife. The ancient Egyptians were an important and advanced civilization because of the religious beliefs that contributed in building King Tut’s tomb. Introduction Back to Room 1

Name of Museum Three important religious beliefs in King Tut’s tomb proved that Ancient Egypt was a complex civilization. The first religious belief was preserving the pharaoh’s body and spirit. Preserving the pharaoh’s body and spirit, or embalming was important for King Tut because if the body was not kept in tact the ba, would not recognize King Tut and it would not have a place to go at night. The second religious belief was the afterlife. The afterlife was an important religious belief because when King Tut died Thoth would way the heart against a feather, and if the heart was heavier it was believed that King Tut’s heart would be devoured and King Tut’s would not have a good life in the afterlife. The third religious belief is that the pharaoh was a god on Earth and in the afterlife. King Tut, as well as all pharaohs was believed to be Horus on Earth and Osiris in the afterlife by their subjects. In conclusion, three important religious beliefs proved that Ancient Egypt was a complex civilization. Body Paragraph Back to Room 2
