The "treasures" of Tutankhamun have
been
marvelled at since their discovery by Howard Carter in 1922. It took a
decade to catalogue, remove and conserve the thousands of items in the
small tomb. A few of the items are displayed here and on following
pages
to be added as time permits. The two innermost sarcophagi are displayed
in the Cairo Museum, while the outer most one
still holds the mummy of Tutankhamun and resides in his tomb in
the Valley of the Kings.
