Renowned British archaeologist John Romer considers himself very fortunate to have found three Egyptian pharaoh tombs in Luxor. He also pointed out that the treasures preserved within the tombs are innumerable, and a true war has broken out among archaeologists to secure the rights to excavate the hills of Luxor.
It is understood that the tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt is the most famous pharaoh tomb in the Valley of the Kings, and it has brought constant surprises to the world since its excavation. Archaeologists recently discovered 8 fruit baskets inside the tomb, containing 3,000-year-old nuts that were all well-preserved. The artifacts within are astonishing, including a solid gold coffin, a golden crown and mask, jewelry, statues, and chariots. However, it is famous for two reasons: first, it is one of the earliest royal tombs ever discovered in the world; second, its infamous curses. The tomb itself is surprisingly small, so much so that a cave adjacent to the burial chamber had to be used to store the funerary treasures. Since the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb, some of the magnificent burial goods have been exhibited in museums around the world.
