When did howard carter found king tut's tomb?
If I may quote Wikipedia, Page: Howard Carter: "On 4 November 1922, Howard Carter's excavation group found the steps leading to Tutankhamun's tomb (subsequently designated KV62), by far the best preserved and most intact pharaonic tomb ever found in the Valley of the Kings. He wired Carnarvon to come, and on 26 November 1922, with Carnarvon, Carnarvon's daughter, and others in attendance, Carter made the "tiny breach in the top left hand corner" of the doorway, and was able to peer in by the light of a candle and see that many of the gold and ebony treasures were still in place. He made the breach into the tomb with a chisel his grandmother had given him for his seventeenth birthday. He did not yet know at that point whether it was "a tomb or merely a cache", but he did see a promising sealed doorway between two sentinel statues. When Carnarvon asked "can you see anything?", Carter replied with the famous words: "Yes, wonderful things."[7] The next several months were spent cataloging the contents of the antechamber under the "often stressful" oversight of Pierre Lacau, director general of the Department of Antiquities of Egypt.[8] On 16 February 1923, Carter opened the sealed doorway, and found that it did indeed lead to a burial chamber, and he got his first glimpse of the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun. All of these discoveries were eagerly covered by the world's press, but most of their representatives were kept in their hotels; only H. V. Morton was allowed on the scene, and his vivid descriptions helped to cement Carter's reputation with the British public."

When was King Tutankhamun's mask found?
burial mask of King Tutankhamen created:1322 B.C found:1922 in the valley of the kings current location: Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Egypt. Tut's tomb is the only ancient Egyptian tomb ever discovered technically intact. The tomb was invaded by robbers, probably within a few hundred years of Tut's burial, and then it was re-sealed by priests. Fortunately it was not found again until discovered by Carter in 1922. Since it was established beyond doubt that the tomb was sealed by priests of the necropolis (the city of the dead) it is considered intact, even though it had been violated in ancient times. The outer entry to the tomb was intact when Carter discovered it, just as the ancient repairers left it. And it was sealed with the seal of the necropolis priesthood. The sarcophagus and its surrounding gold-leafed shrines were completely untouched when opened by Carter and his team; the robbers did not make it that far into the tomb. One wonders if the robbers suffered the misfortune of being caught in the act. They would certainly have known that the sarcophagus would be the greatest prize. The gold mask was still in its intended resting place on the king's mummy within the nest of coffins, one of which is of solid gold.
