King Tutankhamun's body has never left it's 3300 year old tomb, even when it was discovered it was always left inside it's outter coffin made from gold and wood that stayed in the Valley of Kings until today.
As the development of tut's tomb took almost 10 years and has finished earlier this year by the Getty Conservation Institute and the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities. But now they are working on restoring his golden coffin, removing from it's resting place and letting experts take a much close look.
This complicated project is mainly motivated by the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum in late 2020, which will open out over the Pyramids of Giza. As well as the three coffins that accommodates King Tut's Body. This exhibit will certainly display multiple relics found in his tomb.
Carter's discovery of Tut's coffin was the first time a royal tomb from ancient Egypt has been uncovered in outstanding conditions and well intact including royal treasures as well. After the discovery was made, two of three coffins were transported to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo while the outer coffin was left inside the king's tomb. But after July of 1997 it was removed under intense security in order to keep it well intact, with careful restoration attempts underway experts have their chance to inspect the outer coffin up close and reveal the photo for us to see.
