Ancient Egyptian

When King Tut’s tomb was unearthed, researchers found a dagger that was eerily still sharp. But when they tested the blade, the results revealed even stranger findings.

Tutankhamun, otherwise known as King Tut, was an Egyptian pharaoh who lived in Egypt’s 18th dynasty. While he only ruled for around 10 years between 1332-1323 BC, the discovery of his tomb in 1922 made him the world's most famous pharaoh and gave us incredible artifacts that have been feature in exhibits around the globe—it also gave rise to rumors of an ancient curse.
