After months of clearing the outer chambers, on February 16. 1923, British archaeologist Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon opened the sealed door to the burial chamber, the final and most important chamber of the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun (King Tut).
The initial discovery of the tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings occurred on November 4, 1922. Most pharaohs graves were plundered by graverobbers in ancient times, however Tutankhamun's tomb was hidden by debris for most of its existence and became the first known largely intact royal burial site found from ancient Egypt.
