The sarcophagus belonging to Pharaoh Tutankhamun was located on February 16th 1923 when a team of researchers and archaeologists led by Howard Carter entered the burial chamber within Tutankhamun's tomb for the first time. Tutankhamun's tomb had initially been discovered back in November 1922 when the steps leading to the tomb were uncovered. It was found to be largely untouched by gravediggers and contained a vast amount of intact artefacts. The team had spent several months examining and cataloguing items in order to reach the burial chamber.

The Daily Express published this revelation through a series of images which depict some of the unique artwork seen in the tomb.
