The discovery of King Tut's tomb revealed an astonishing wealth of over 5,000 artifacts, including a solid gold coffin and a famous face mask, untouched for over 3,000 years. Despite the initial excitement, a legal battle over ownership ensued, particularly after the untimely death of Lord Carnarvon, which fueled the legend of the pharaoh's curse. The treasures eventually found their way to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, sparking a global fascination that continues to this day.
