The dramatic discovery was one of the most extraordinary archaeological achievements of all time.
And now — nearly a century after the tomb of ‘Boy King’ Tutankhamun was uncovered — the incredible scenes can be seen in full colour for the first time.
The ancient Egyptian pharaoh’s intact tomb was found on November 4, 1922, by British archaeologist Howard Carter.
And the pictures bring vividly to life the discovery of the final resting place of Tutankhamun, who ruled Egypt around 1334-1325BC, and is said to have died when he was about 18. The colourised pictures can also be seen in a new BBC Four documentary, Tutankhamun In Colour.
Here, we offer a step-by-step guide to a pivotal moment in history.
