Howard Carter revealed that King Tutankhamun's coffins, particularly the outermost one, were made of wood and lavishly adorned with gold and precious stones. His discoveries highlighted the extraordinary craftsmanship and wealth of the period, as the coffins were intricately designed to protect the pharaoh's remains in the afterlife. Additionally, Carter found that the inner coffin, which was solid gold, contained specific inscriptions and symbols that underscored the religious beliefs of ancient Egyptians regarding immortality and the afterlife. These revelations significantly enhanced our understanding of ancient Egyptian burial practices and the significance of royal tombs.
