Wasn't it discovered in 1922? I make that 91 years ago.

Nope, 1924

It was definitely discovered in 1922.

Went on a weekend boat trip once, from Cyprus to Egypt. We got whizzed from one pyramid to the next sphinx and camel's arse, and finally ended up with a short visit to the Cairo museum. I've never before walked so fast round a museum, trying to take in as much as possible. Suddenly found myself face to face with this:

Stopped me dead in my tracks. Absolutely stunning.

im gonna do that tour myself this year, cant wait to see all that ancient mysterious history and jaw dropping sights, and gonna go to McDonalds as well!

That's because this is the death mask.

Mark's fact stated that the coffin was solid gold.

Honestly, I don't know why I bother...really....

*tuts*

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Didn't those involved with the discovery all die under mysterious circumstances soon after?
