NOTES: Art of Ancient Egypt Chapter 3

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."                                                               T he Times of London ,  February 16, 1923 Tutankhamun's mask, or funerary mask of Tutankhamun, is the death mask of the 18th-dynasty Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun. It was discovered by Howard Carter in 1925 in tomb KV62 and is now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.   Found in the Valley of the Kings, after 15 years of digging! Was Carter's last expedition, sponsored by the wealthy British amateur Egyptologist Lord Carnarvon.  The tomb dates to c. 1332 - 1322 BCE
