Tutankhamen might just be the world’s most popular Egyptian Pharaoh and the discovery of his body was as mysterious as how he lived his life. On May 12, find out what really happened to the young prince whose existence still seems to be shrouded in mystery.

The discovery of King Tutankhamen and his body on November 1922 by the archaeologist, Howard Carter was considered a breakthrough for modern archaeology. At the time, people thought most tombs and crypts in Egypt were already stolen and broken into by grave diggers and independent treasure hunters, but the discovery of King Tutankhamen’s untouched tomb and almost complete burial site gave them hope.

Since King Tut’s tombed seemed to be complete, archaeologists were able to trace and note down how the Ancient Egyptians buried and honored their kings. Historians were able to correct all previous notions about how the Ancient Egyptians offered their final respects to royals and other rich and important personalities at the time. Howard Carter’s discovery not only helped historians and other scholars, he also inspired a new generation of archaeologists to focus on the wonders of Ancient Egypt.

Here are some of the photographs of the tomb…from anonymous photographer..

Quote

“Those were the great days of excavating... anything to which a fancy was taken, from a scarab to an obelisk, was just appropriated and if there was a difference with a brother excavator, one laid for him with a gun.”

Something special for me YES!!!!!!!!!HERE IS...............

My Bed TO BE!!!!!!!!!

I am not one for frills and loud, garish patterns on bed linen. A bedroom should be a place where there is harmony and an air of calm. This set from Crate and Barrel manages to be artfully subtle yet make a statement which wouldn't clash in most bedrooms. I will ask my cousin who lives at its vicinity …to bring me at least two pairs from there  right!!!!!!!!! Yes along with this On Bed and      …….. few strategically placed flowers in a vase, clean lines and a lack of clutter should do the trick also.

Simple is best.

on my wish list
