5. Who was the first Egyptian pharaoh whose tomb was found intact?
From Quiz Are You Sure About That?
Answer:
Psusennes I
When Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922, it was found that it had been robbed at least twice in antiquity, and then re-sealed by Egyptian officials. Fortunately, the thieves had not penetrated to the burial chamber, so most of Tut's treasures remained. In 1939, the French Egyptologist Pierre Montet discovered the completely undisturbed tomb of Psusennes I near Tanis in the Nile Delta. So why is Tutankhamun famous, while Psusennes remains relatively unknown? There are a couple of reasons. First, the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb received an enormous amount of publicity, while the outbreak of WWII obscured Montet's discovery. Secondly, Tutankhamun had ruled at the very height of Egyptian wealth and power, while Psusennes, whose reign began 300 years later, held sway over a much poorer country, and the treasures in his tomb did not display the superb artistry of the earlier period. In addition, the damp conditions found in the delta had caused many of the non-metal objects - including the king's mummy - to deteriorate. Still, the treasures that were found in Psusennes' tomb were breathtaking. He had been buried in a coffin of solid silver, a metal much rarer in Egypt at that time than gold. In 2011, the PBS series "Secrets of the Dead" aired an episode about Psusennes called "The Silver Pharaoh."
