Tutankhamun's Tomb

Angel Tello

Examine the tomb of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun.

In this detailed 3D model created by Angel Tello, you can explore the tomb of Tutankhamun, arguably the most famous of the Egyptian pharaohs. You'll begin at the entrance and then descend into the tomb, seeing the treasures that lay undiscovered until 1922, when Howard Carter made a similar trip in real life, and unearthed a fascinating piece of history. Turn on the "Terrain" in your layers section for added effect.
