In the first picture, the mummy of the Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty Nebkheperure Tutankhamun ( )| “nb-hprw-re” ‘Lord of the Manifestations of Ra’ ()| “twt-ankh-imn” ‘The Living Image of Amun' is resting next to one of his golden coffin.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This King was buried in a series of nested containers: three golden coffins, a granite sarcophagus and four gilded wooden shrines, the largest of which barely fit into the tomb’s burial chamber.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And then we have the famous funerary mask, that became the main icon of the Egyptology when Howard Carter found it in 1922. Nicholas Reeves, has revealed that it was originally made for a female pharaoh, probably Nefertiti. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As we see in the another 3 pictures, the mask portrays Tutankhamun wearing a nemes headcloth, topped by the Ureus with the cobra goddess Wadjet and vulture one named Nekhbet, symbolising Tutankhamun's rule of both Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt respectively. The ears are pierced to hold earrings. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Material: inlays of coloured glass and gemstones, including lapis lazuli (the eye surrounds and eyebrows), quartz (the eyes), obsidian (the pupils), carnelian, feldspar, turquoise, amazonite, faience and other stones (as inlays of the broad collar).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because of his tomb’s small size, historians suggest King Tut’s death must have been unexpected and his burial rushed by Ay, who succeeded him as pharaoh.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last picture shows us the King Tut's grave sign with its number: KV62 (which means Kings' Valley number 62 -because it was the order of discovery of the tomb in that necropolys).

Statue of king Tutankhamun as Ptah, with a beautiful Theban (lapis lazuli) blue tight cap, with harnesses holding his typical sceptre combining three powerful symbols of ancient egyptian religion (that indicate the three creative powers of the god): ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- The Was sceptre >> - power.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- The Ankh >> - life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- The Djed pillar >> - stability.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the same way as Ptah , Tutankhamun is depicted in the form of a mummified man, standing on the symbol for Ma'at , holding a sceptre or staff that bears the combined ankh-djed-was symbols, contained in a shroud sticking to the skin, wearing the divine beard.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ptah "ptH" was the principal god of Memphis, the Creator god , who "creates from the thought of his heart, and gives life through the magic of his Word".

KV62: the tomb of King Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There we can see the mummy of the Pharaoh inside his coffin in his sarcophagus, in the exactly place where he has been found in November, 1922 by Howard Carter.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In his place, last picture shows Zahi Hawass looking at the famous mummy resting in peace in his tiny but beautiful tomb.

مجموعه اهرام مصر یا اهرام جیزه نام مجموعه اهرام تاریخی در گورستان جیزه یا گیزا است که در حومه جنوب غربی قاهره در کشور مصر واقع شده است و قدیمیترین و تنها باقی مانده از عجایب هفتگانه دنیای باستان به شمار می روند. مساحت جیزه در حدود 8 کیلومتر است.
هرم های سه گانه، عظیم ترین و باشکوه ترین سازه های ساخته شده در تاریخ بشر به شمار می روند. این هرمها از حدود 2550 پیش از میلاد ساخته شده اند.
مصریان قدیم اعتقاد داشتند که فراعنه پس از مرگ به خدایی می رسند و بنابراین مقابرشان می بایست بسیار عظیم و غیر قابل نفوذ ساخته شود. مصری ها زندگی کوتاه این جهان را فانی و مرگ را آغاز یک حیات نوین و جاویدان در دنیایی دیگر می دانستند. زمانى قرار بود اهرام مصر تخریب و از مصالحش برای سد نیل استفاده شود، مهندس پروژه «لويس لينانت» با محاسبات ساختگى نشان داد كه استفاده از سنگهای جدید ارزانتر است و اینگونه اهرام را نجات داد.
