The discovery was an important archaeological event. Tutankhamun's tomb is the only tomb dating from Egypt's New Kingdom (c1550-1069 BC) to have been found substantially intact. The contents provide an unequalled insight into royal funerary practices, art and craftsmanship of the period. All of the items found inside the tomb are now in the Cairo and Luxor museums in Egypt, while Carter's excavation records are kept in the Griffith Institute, Oxford.
