Question of the Day - 9 March 2012
In which decade was the tomb of Tutankhamon opened for the first time in over 3000 years (bonus for the exact year)?
En quelle décennie le tombeau fut-il ouvert pour la première fois depuis plus de 3000 ans (bonus pour l'année précise)?
Tutankhamun's (The living image of Amun) tomb was opened by Howard Carter in 1922 who is reported to have said "I can see wondrous things.
It is a disappointing tomb to visit and he died suddenly and young (19?) so another tomb was borrowed and only the burial chamber is decorated.
The artefacts are another mater, I was mesmerised by the 3,000 year old war chariot I saw in Luxor Museum, beautifully crafted and looks like it was made yesterday.
