The discovery of King Tutankhamun's burial tomb was unlike any other archaeological discovery. Despite being found by tomb robbers, a fortunate landslide later concealed the tomb entrance again and ensured that when Howard Carter rediscovered the tomb in the 1920s, most of Egypt's most prized treasures, were still safe. Amongst those treasures was the young Pharoah's chariot, a beautiful yet delicate artefact. One that needed extensive conservation to ensure that it could survive being removed from the tomb and transported.
