@tiraofegypt: Think King Tut was buried in a single coffin? Think again. Tutankhamun's burial was protected by four massive golden shrines, three nested coffins, a quartzite sarcophagus, and finally the young pharaoh himself, wearing his world-famous golden funerary mask. The innermost coffin alone was crafted from more than 240 pounds (110 kg) of solid gold, making it one of the most extraordinary royal burials ever discovered. It's no wonder King Tut's tomb remains the most famous archaeological discovery in history. #KingTut #Tutankhamun #AncientEgypt #Egyptology #History #AncientHistory #Archaeology #Egypt #HistoryFacts
