Study the photograph. What was significant about King Tutankhamen’s tomb? Unlike other tombs, which had been robbed, Tutankhamen’s tomb had never been disturbed. Unlike the tombs of previous pharaohs, Tutankhamen’s tomb revealed his fascination with the afterlife. Tutankhamen was the only pharaoh not buried in the Valley of the Kings. Tutankhamen’s mummy was not well preserved, and archaeologists are unsure if it is his.
