No, the body of King Tutankhamun, commonly referred to as Tut, is not on public display in its entirety. While the mummy is housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, it is typically kept in a sealed glass case to protect it from damage. However, visitors can see his tomb, which is located in the Valley of the Kings, and view various artifacts from his burial, including treasures that provide insight into ancient Egyptian culture.

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.

11/25/2009 - Additional Information: The address is at a UPS store in a strip plaza. So it's fairly obvious the return address (and your PAYMENT to the T.I.S!) goes into a mailbox. Am awaiting information from the Attorney General's Office, regarding this "business." My 83 year old father wants to send his money in to this group and I am gathering all the Intel I can, to discourage him from doing so!
I am a dis-interested party, but I happen to be in this UPS store when the guy running this scam came in to return his mailbox key - he wouldn't pay the last two months on his box either, and told the lady working there "well then, just keep the mail". He was a particularly nasty, belligerent man and he's being investigated. Steer clear of this scam!!
What curses were written on the walls of King Tutankhamun to scare off the tomb robbers?
Richard Adamson, last survivor of the expedition that discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamen has stated categorically that there were no curses in King Tut's tomb. According to Mr. Adamson, the story of the curse started when a British newspaper reported that a curse - on all who entered - had been found inscribed on the entrance to the tomb. In fact, says Adamson, although curses were inscribed on some Egyptian tombs to deter thieves, none whatsoever was found in that of Tutankhamen. But they decided not to deny the newspaper report, says Adamson, because, as he put it: "It will do wonders for security if this thing gets around."
