But the cause of his death remains a mystery today! Finding Tut’s tomb Some Egyptologists believe King Tut may have died in a chariot crash. The Boy King died just ten years later and he was buried in a golden coffin surrounded by 5,000 priceless treasures, including animal statues, jewellery, clothes, weapons and even toys. King Tutankhamun (King Tut for short!) became ruler of Ancient Egypt when he was just nine years old. To celebrate the anniversary of the incredible tomb’s discovery, 150 artefacts from the burial site are on display at the Saatchi Gallery in London, more than 60 of which have never been seen outside of Egypt. It’s almost 100 years since ‘Boy King’ Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered. Now’s your last chance to see its treasures before they’re returned to Egypt…
