September 16, 2023 Episode 77: The Excavation of King Tutankhamun’s Tomb
Welcome to our Grim history lesson on Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh, King Tutankhamun and the historical and legendary excavation of his tomb by Howard Carter in 1922. Although King Tut's life was relatively short he is one of, if not the most, famous ancient Egyptian mummy to be discovered. There's a ton of debate around nearly every piece of information about him. How did he die? Was he fit and healthy during his young life or was he riddled with illness and disease?
