King Tut Museum This full-scale reproduction of King Tutankhamen’s tomb includes the antechamber, annex, burial chamber, and treasury housing replicas of the glittering inventory discovered by archaeologists Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon in the Valley of Kings at Luxor in 1922. It was all handcrafted in Egypt by artisans using historically correct gold leaf and linens, pigments, tools, and ancient methods, and all items have been meticulously positioned according to Carter’s records. It’s hardly like seeing the real thing, but if you aren’t going to Egypt anytime soon, perhaps checking out reproductions isn’t a bad idea.
