"On November 4 1922, a young Egyptian “water boy” on an archaeological dig is
said to have accidentally stumbled on a stone that turned out to be the top of
a flight of steps cut into the limestone bedrock.

The stairs led to one of the most spectacular archaeological discoveries in
history and the only almost intact funerary assemblage of a pharaoh – the
Tutankhamun’s tomb.

A century after this discovery, it’s worth revisiting the story of
Tutankhamun’s tomb and how it eventually became a symbol for Egyptian
nationalism."
