Description
This is the rope seal securing the doors of Tutankhamun's tomb, unbroken for more than 3200 years until shortly after Harry Burton took this photo in 1923. A description from National Geographic: Still intact in 1923 after 32 centuries, rope secures the doors to the second of four nested shrines in Tutankhamun's burial chamber. The necropolis seal depicting captives on their knees and Anubis, the jackal god of the dead remains unbroken a sign that Tut's mummy lies undisturbed
