Tutankhamun's gold coffins and Mask

The famous burial mask of Tutankhamun, the Boy King

One of Tutankhamun's gold coffins. Tut's boyish good looks have evidently mesmerized Hayley from our group. When his tomb (visited May 29) was discovered it contained 4 nested gilded wood boxes, inside the innermost of which was the stone sarcophagus, inside which were 3 nested gold coffins, the innermost of which was made of 110 kg of gold and which contained the mummy. Several of the giant boxes are on display in the hallway outside this room. I believe the innermost coffin is the one still in the tomb
