The young pharaoh's tomb, initially discovered by a British archaeologist in 1922, is one of the most well-known in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, Egypt

For the first time since the boy king's tomb was discovered in 1922 all the items will stored in one place, a museum director told NBC News.

Egypt has inaugurated the Grand Egyptian Museum, the world's largest museum dedicated to a single ancient civilization and an effort aimed at boosting the country's tourism industry and troubled econo

Its construction cost over $1 billion. The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)'s most notable feature is the tomb of the boy king, Tutankhamun. This tomb was discovered in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter. More than 5,500 objects were found inside.

Flash flooding in the Valley of the Kings has caused damage to the fragile rock beneath and above the tomb of King Tutankhamun.

The building, as big as Vatican City with a collection larger than the Louvre, has been in the making for over 30 years and is finally set to formally open in November, Maira Butt writes

A disaster could strike at any moment, and if the Valley of the Kings is to be preserved, action must be taken before it is too late.”
