    It was the autumn of 1927, and the hot Iraqi sun beat down on Sir Leonard Woolley as he and his crew continued to excavate the earth. He had been digging at the site of the ancient city of Ur, a relic of the civilization of Mesopotamia, and had found a plethora of artifacts about everyday life. However, what he was about to find was much, much more interesting. Instead of finding simple graves like before, Woolley had stumbled upon four tombs of elites, filled with riches of gold and other amazing monuments to Mesopotamian culture. But in my opinion the most fascinating pieces of art discovered in the Royal Tombs are the Lyres of Ur, which have a rich blend of Sumerian history as well as a beautiful and artistic design.…

The tomb unmasked an unknown period of Egyptian history and gave an insight to the reign of the famous King Tutankhamen. By observation and analysis of the objects discovered within King Tutankhamen’s tomb, archaeologists have theorised possible conclusions of what Ancient Egypt was like during the time period of King Tutankhamen’s brief time in power. The Egyptians firmly believed in the afterlife and the illustrations within King Tutankhamen’s tomb reinforce this, as well as the idea of the realm of the afterlife. Images and objects within the tomb show the Pharaoh as a divine being that represents the human form of a god.
