CAIRO – 23 May 2022: When British archaeologist Howard Carter opened King Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, he reported seeing "wonderful things." Tutankhamun's tomb was full of extraordinary treasures including Tutankhamun's golden death mask, golden throne and even golden sandals. But did all the royal tombs of ancient Egypt contain such opulent treasures? Most of these pyramids were looted centuries ago, Grajetzki said, but some royal tombs have remained relatively intact with their treasures. He added, "While these are magnificent burials, they do not come close to the riches found in Tutankhamun's tomb."
