    Where are the treasures of the Tutankhamen tombs kept?

    Question #106936. Asked by nibbles0011. (Jul 08 09 2:33 PM)

    		In 1922 the discovery of the virtually intact tomb of Tutankhamun became probably the best known and most spectacular archaeological find anywhere in the world.

    The small tomb contained hundreds of objects (now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo), many richly decorated and covered in gold, that would be needed by the king in his afterlife.
