Tutankhamun’s Tomb Secret Finally Exposed — The Clue People Keep Missing

On November 4th, 1922, a water boy's heel struck a buried stone step in the Valley of the Kings — and uncovered the most complete royal burial ever found in ancient Egypt. But behind the golden mask of Tutankhamun lies a problem almost no one talks about: by the standards of every other pharaoh's tomb, the boy king's resting place is measurably, undeniably wrong.

This documentary traces Howard Carter's final-season discovery, the staggering hoard of over 5,000 objects, and the strange clue hidden in plain sight on the painted walls. Why is Tutankhamun's tomb so small, so cramped, so unlike the vast corridors carved for kings like Seti I? And who was it really built for?

Using modern imaging that Carter could never have imagined, researchers are now rewriting the story of Egypt's most famous pharaoh.
