At the top of the list of factors that make the treasures of Tutankhamun particularly important is that it is the only pharaonic royal treasure to be completed.
Pharaonic tombs have always been found to be flammable. The thieves always preceded the explorers to the secret gates of the tombs, which made the study of pharaonic history is so difficult.
but for the treasures of Tutankhamun's tomb, it is quite the opposite The treasures and artifacts that make up the King's own collection are found in the tomb almost complete. The total number of pieces is about 358 pieces, which vary in size, differ in materials manufactured and are of historical importance.
The second factor that leads to the importance of the collection of Tutankhamun is the historical period of the royal group.
King Tutankhamun ascended the throne at the time of the 18th Dynasty.
Which represents the era of the Golden Age for the modern state, where that period was marked by the openness of Egypt to other countries, and in particular the civilizations of the ancient Near East, thanks to the numerous military campaigns that went to those areas.
As well as because of the flourishing trade movement between Egypt and the East, and yet all this period was one of the most periods of Pharaonic civilization is ambiguous, because of the scarcity of holdings, documents and historical manuscripts that belong to them.
All the information that was available from that period is purely assumptions and guesses from the researchers, which were based on a collection of scattered information and scattered evidence, and then the tomb of Tutankhamun was provided to provide answers to those questions.
The study of more than 350 of the artifacts associated with that period was sufficient to identify the form and nature of life in it, and the extent of the old Egyptian personality was influenced by the openness factor, and how this reflects on it and its contribution to its development.
Third: the retention of Egypt's right to treasure:
Egypt always was a covetous to the invaders and the emperors of states, and it was always a graveyard for them.
We now find countries like England and France boast of possession of pieces dating back to the Pharaonic era.
But the Tutankhamun's collection has been fully preserved by Egypt, making this the third factor in the importance of this collection. The treasure of Tutankhamun is currently housed in a pavilion dedicated to it within the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
The treasure is one of the museum's most important objects. A large number of tourists visit the Egyptian Museum every year to watch the collections, especially the Tutankhamun mask, which is one of the most important pieces found in the tomb of the Pharaonic king.

Fourth: To identify the life of the king:
We mentioned earlier that the age of the 18th Dynasty in general was a mystery, but the biggest mystery was that of King Tutankhamun, the pharaoh who was surrounded by a big mystery.
Which resulted in the weaving of many myths and lies around him, became facts with time until the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered and showed that was just Follies .
new facts appeared like his relationship with his wife Ankh Asen Amoun, which seems to be inspired by love so much love .
In addition, by studying the tomb scientists were able to identify the style of Tutankhamun, the people close to it and who formed the footnote, as well as many other secrets uncovered by the discovery of the cemetery.
Fifth: The only Pharaonic throne:

The Pharaonic era extended for a very long period of time, beginning with the unification of King Mena or Narmer of the two northern and southern kingdoms, in 3200 BC.
However, it was not until the throne of King Tutankhamun that the tomb of King Tutankhamun was revealed, as if this cemetery were destined to contain all the strange discovries.
Sixth: Mummy of Tutankhamun:
One of the most important found in the Tomb of Tutankhamun is the king's own stuffed mummy, which was found in good condition and allowed to be examined. Perhaps the real importance of this mummy is not the mummy itself.But in the results reached through the study, it led the scientists to answers to many of the questions that occupied them for long periods, and the most important of those questions that were unanswered.The secret of the death of the Pharaonic king Tutankhamun, and it was until recently that he was assassinated by members of his entourage for the throne and power, but DNA analysis and other tests revealed that he died as a result of the spread and injury of malaria with it.
According to an announcement made by Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass on March 8, 2005.
The belief in the assassination of King Tutankhamun was to find a hole in the back of the mummy skull that was thought to have been caused by a severe blow to the head. However, the examination of the mummy by 3D anatomical technique
It was found that this hole was made after his death in the stages of embalming.
Tutankhamun was also severely fractured by the femur. The fracture was linked to the assassination, but the three-dimensional anatomical examination proved wrong with that assumption.
