It is the first time the coffin of 'King Tut' has been removed from the 3,300-year-old tomb since it was discovered in 1922.

The crook and flail (pictured) were symbols of the king's right to rule.

The outer coffin of Tutankhamun has been removed from its sterilisation tent before it undergoes a painstaking eight-month restoration process.

The gilded sarcophagus of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh now lies in the restoration laboratory of the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, which lies on the outskirts Cairo, Egypt.

Pictures reveal the intricate reliefs on the foot of the golden sarcophagus which were carved into the outer wood covering of the coffin.

Inside the box-like structure of the sarcophagus were three coffins to house the body of the king.

The innermost coffin is made of solid gold, while the middle coffin is made with gilded wood, inlaid with multi-coloured glass.

Tutankhamun was buried in the Valley of the Kings and discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922.

Leave this mommies alone

The casket was removed in a tight security operation, and fumigated for seven days.

Restoration will now continue using non-invasive equipment to repair cracks to the golden layers and fix weakened areas

After mechanical and chemical engineering has taken place, any layers of plaster that have broken away will be replaced in their original location.

Restoration process of the tomb will last eight months as Egyptian archaeologists inspect the base of the coffin. Tutankhamun, known as the 'Golden Pharaoh', ruled from the age of eight to 19 and was known as the boy pharaoh

The coffin has suffered damage to the golden layers of plaster with a weakening of the golden layers.

Better coffin!

The face of Tutankhamun was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, and ruled between 1332 BC and 1323 BC.



Tutankhamun was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, and ruled between 1332 BC and 1323 BC.

He was the son of Akhenaten and took to the throne at the age of nine or ten.

When he became king, he married his half-sister, Ankhesenpaaten.

He died at around the age of 18 and his cause of death is unknown.

In 1907, Lord Carnarvon George Herbert asked English archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter to supervise excavations in the Valley of the Kings.

On 4 November 1922, Carter's group found steps that led to Tutankhamun's tomb.

He spent several months cataloguing the antechamber before opening the burial chamber and discovering the sarcophagus in February 1923.

When the tomb was discovered in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter, under the patronage of Lord Carnarvon, the media frenzy that followed was unprecedented.

Carter and his team took 10 years to clear the tomb of its treasure because of the multitude of objects found within it.

For many years, Tut embodies ancient Egypt's glory because his tomb was packed with the glittering wealth of the rich 18th Dynasty from 1569 to 1315 BC.

Christ... Hmm...!!!

That's how this people will go and open problem

If Explorer is here then it's a Hit. Front page! (Straight win. Play N1000)

According to legend, the coffins of egyptian pharaohs are laced with powerful curses but hopefully it has expired over time.

3,000 years old unbroken seal that secured king Tutankhamun's tomb.

Imagine being an archaeologist exploring ancient shrine or tomb and stumbling upon this 3,245-year-old unbroken seal.

Such was the sight that greeted Howard Carter in 1923 as he prepared to enter King Tut's astounding shrine for the first time.

Interesting

nice work from explorer

These tombs where locked with black magic and spells from releasing spirits out to hurt living beings , the mummification team even had masks of onubis to protect them too, now it's being opened , the effect will not be political, it's spiritual and science will not explain this because the white man knows nothing about this.
