Does anyone remember the Sesame Street where Ernie was dressed up as King Tut? That segment scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
Imgurette
This is by far one of the most interesting things I've seen on Imgur in a long time
smitty216
268 in pic 8 is discarded and can be seen in next pic tossed aside. Clear evidence the Patriots cheated....wake up sheeple!
you8mycracker
Its not tossed aside.. Its between the two pictures and is placed on an additional trunk in the rear.

Oh can we see the non-color ones and read some more about it? @OP

What if the ancient Egyptians had the afterlife thing right and we're just fucking up their eternity
PleasantPeasantPheasant
they had a good 3000 years.

At what point does it stop being grave robbery?

Have a minute to look around and then we'll start the bidding.

Return the slab.

****DID YOU GUYS HEAR**** they are excavating a nearby wall which may contain another tomb, possibly Nefertiti
CONFESSlONBEAR
Hehe...you said "titi".

Nefertiti? I hardly know her!
vernel90
Honestly, the idea that ppl lived for 1000s of yrs before us, created civilisation, led their lives.... It's fucking amazing.
superwholockianforthewin
Was thinking the same thing. Like, I know all that is real and from thousands of years ago but It's super hard to wrap my head around it.
App1eJu1ce
Imagine how incredible it must have been to discover this... Also I like how theyre touching it with their bare hands. 2015? Hazmat suits.
arsamatoria
As an archaeologist and Antiquities Cataloguer. Personally handling artifacts is exactly why I do it.
stewizbad
I cannot imagine how exciting it must have been to walk into that room..errr tomb.
GulDukatja
Tomb room?
CoachGordBombay
I was about to say how crazy it must have been for that first guy to find that opening to the tomb... Surreal...
TicoMachi
So real...
willowwashere
so you are telling me that you got aaalllllll that loot in the same dungeon raid? I don't believe you.
thisisyourtime
Just looking at these gives me the creeps because of all the history behind it.
drdavessardogs
The last picture is King Tut himself when he was in South America studying for finals.
ohdearohdearohdeer
True story: Egyptian cleaners recently broke off Tut's chin piece whilst cleaning. The cleaners reattached it with epoxy resin. It's a mess.
Studoku
That belongs in a museum!
TheBlueMorpho
So do you, Dr. Jones!
Schmaron
If I were a man, I would have gotten a boner. Beautiful photos!!!
historycat
The image of a Pharoah's tomb in my mind is majestic, but it really looked like my basement with piles of crap and graffiti.
Dvice1975
Tutankhamun's tomb was a rushjob. He died unexpectedly at 19 years old and they had to improvise. Other tombs are beautifully decorated.
arsamatoria
I'm not sure his is the best example for the grandeur of Egyptian tombs. His was put together quickly since he died young unexpectedly.
damnmongorian
How come I ain't never seen this episode of Storage Wars?
OobedoobScoobyDoobyBenubi
Today, on Hoarders
SuperCynic
And the winner of Storage Wars 1922 is Howard Carter and George Herbert.
Yomamma
I want to make multiple accounts to upvote you multiple times. Comment of the day. Period.
Sororita
storage wars was exactly what I was thinking of too.
nova73infort
Still sad and uber gross so many mummies were lost during these times to be ground and used for medicinal purposes!
welluhwhatdoyouwantmetosay
Don't forget fertilizer, paper, and fuel.
PleasantPeasantPheasant
Some where used to make paint.
peppermintmeow
People won't get fancy dressed up for anything nowadays but these guys are excavating a tomb in suits. What a different time it was indeed.
TheMostModestMouse
Put them on for the photos most likly.
gummysharkies
I feel like nowadays if such a big discovery was made they'd go in with full gowns, booties and gloves though.
TheKatsMeooow
Materials technology has made vast progresses for fashion.
5Fingers
This is borderline Neckbeard territory. You might want to be careful.
Ambooty
Where is all of the grain though?
Rogahar
Imagine if they really did take it all to the afterlife. If we take it do they lose it? Like Tut's enjoying some tea and his cup just *pof*.
GrimmThistle
In his native tongue, he just sighs and says "Fucking graverobbers."
Unbarring
I can't wait until they discover the tomb of Nefertiti, they think that's it's right next to Tuts tomb in a hidden part of the temple
Cheomesh
You'd think a king's final resting place would be better organized.
mathknight
Not like he's going to yell at them for not being organized, heh.
Crythulhu
It's neat, but if you think about it it's actually pretty messed up to just take him from his resting place and disturb his remains and such
Dvice1975
The King's mummy remains in his tomb, sealed in its coffin. The rest of the (thousands) of items are in the Cairo Museum.
Cliffman
Or stolen off to museums all over the world, to be profited by governments refusing to return the stuff to Egypt.
Dvice1975
"Stolen" is harsh: most of them were taken as part of agreements. University/museum funds excavation, gets second-pick of the remains.
HeyyyyyMacarena
aaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnddddd you're cursed
GrimRiderJ
Exactly.
Beiki
HUUUUUUUUGS
AsianGiraffette
Dis place is cursed
impedimenta
"What is it with you and curses?"
Joylove
One theory is that the first ones to open the tomb got a dose of whatever deadly bacteria was inside from yesteryear.
breadedfishstrip
And/or discovered an extra Stargate
aviationeast
What is with you and curses. "This is cursed. That is cursed. We're all cursed."
Drakhma

Funniest part of that movie. I quote it with my best friend during Pathfinder all the time XD

True. Egyptians took their grain security very serious.
