Temple of Tutankhamun
Luxor, Egypt
KV62, the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, was unearthed by Howard Carter in 1922. Nestled in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, it stands out for being the only nearly intact royal tomb discovered, housing over 5,000 artifacts, including the pharaoh's iconic gold death mask. Visitors are greeted by colorful wall paintings and the remarkably preserved mummy of Tutankhamun, offering a unique glimpse into the opulence of New Kingdom burials.
