Mortals Pays Visit to God-Pharaoh

Howard Carter is opening Tutankhamon's tomb, 1922. The boy-king earned his fame from the thousands of treasures that were found in his grave, intact during 3.300 years. An exhibition with artefacts is currently touring the USA. Half a million tickets were sold in the first month.
