43 Iconic Cultural and Historical Moments Seen From a Different Angle

In 1925, Howard Carter made history when he discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamun. The discovery was significant because his tomb is the most complete example of an ancient Egyptian royal burial. For the first time in modern civilization, we finally got a good look at the luxury and detail-rich world of the pharaohs.

For example, look at the back of King Tut’s mask. Most people are familiar with the face of his burial mask, but few have seen its back. Most people have never wondered what it looks like, and if they did, they likely did not expect to see this! Look at the tremendous detail that went into this piece of art that was never intended to be seen by other humans.
