"All we know is that we have a void, we have a cavity, and it's huge, which means possibly intentional and certainly worthy of further exploration," a Harvard Egyptologist said.

"King Tut — How'd you get so funky?" It didn't take Steve Martin's song to immortalize the boy king. All it took was the 1922 discovery of Tutankhamen's ancient tomb, found nearly intact by Egyptologist Howard Carter. When the burial chamber was opened on this date in 1923, the world was mesmerized by the wealth inside. Among the treasures found were King Tut's small ebony and ivory chair, numerous solid gold ceremonial objects, a gold throne, Egyptian Senet games and a gold sarcophagus which held the mummy of the king.
