Funerary Mask of Tutankhamun Ruled: 1332 - 1322 BCE Dynasty VIII p. 48 "This has been, perhaps, the most extraordinary day in the whole history of Egyptian excavation...The entrance today was made into the sealed chamber of (Tutankhamun's) tomb...and yet another door opened beyond that. No eyes have seen the King, but to practical certainty we know that lies there close at hand in all his original state, undisturbed."
