Dr Zahi Hawass talks about the tomb robbers and how the Tomb of King Tutankhamun was saved from being raided after it was sealed by the Valley of the Kings police. Work on creating the Tomb of Ramesses VI, which is adjacent to KV62, led to part of King Tut’s tomb caving in and sealing the entrance. It makes KV62 the only tomb in the Valley of the Kings to be discovered fully intact.

Dr Zahi Hawass talks about some of his favourite artefacts from the Tomb of King Tutankhamun (KV62), including the Golden Mask of King Tut, the External Trappings of the Mummy and the Golden Throne. He speaks of his fascination of the combination of different precious stones and gold incorporated into artefacts, and how Ancient Egyptian art was influenced by religion.
