The Discovery of a Lifetime

Regarding the tomb's discovery, Socratic.org notes: "Tut's was still almost entirely intact, and no one had been in the interior chambers (where the body was) since his burial. This meant that his tomb was the best source for information on Egyptian death rites before or since, and gives some unique insight on how pharaohs were valued and what they did during that time."

As noted by the mint: "The Mask of Tutankhamun is minted in authentic and detailed High Relief – its design is surrounded by other treasures that were found in the tomb. To enhance the mystery of the pharaohs’ famous tomb, the treasury is covered with 24K Gold Plated puzzle pieces – just as the treasury was hidden in the tomb for hundreds of years! Complex Minting was used to create one masterpiece: The 5 Gold Plated puzzle pieces are irregular-shaped and feature Egyptian hieroglyphics!"
