When
Howard Carter discovered the
tomb of
Tutankhamun, he
remarked that it was, "the day of days, the most wonderful that I have ever
lived through, and certainly one whose like I can never hope to see again".
However, the collection is yet to be completely documented, and it took some
ten years for Howard Carter to finish excavating the tomb.
There is probably no more famous group of artifacts in the world then those
associated with the discovery of young King Tutankhamun's tomb. The
collection has traveled the world, setting attendance records most anywhere
that it may be found. While its current permanent housing is in the
basement of the
Egyptian Museum in
Cairo, it will soon be moved to a new
down town location.
