Know before you go

• Tutankhamun ruled Egypt for approximately ten years, from around 1336-1327 BCE. In November 1922, Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon discovered Tutankhamun's near-intact tomb in the Valley of the Kings. The king's mummified body was found surrounded by precious grave goods in his golden coffin after his burial chamber was officially opened on 17 February 1923 in the presence of Egyptologists and government officials.
• Today, Tutankhamun is ancient Egypt's most famous pharaoh. But how much do you really know about the boy king? During this tour, I will tell you the lesser-known facts about Tutankhamun.
