On November 4th, 1922, a team headed by British Egyptologist Howard Carter were excavating in Egypt's Valley of the Kings when they uncovered a step to a passageway. Further digging lead to the tomb of Tutankhamun. Of the 64 known tombs in the Valley, most were looted of their treasures, but not Tutankhamun’s—and his tomb’s discovery sparked a fascination with Egyptology that continues to this day. Dr. Lyn Green will mark the 100th anniversary of this discovery by revealing some of the unsolved mysteries surrounding the young king, who seems to have died suddenly at the age of 19.
