Ancient CivilizationsTutankhamun’s Tomb Faces Collapse Risk After a Century of its Discovery Posted on October 27, 2025 by Administrator The legendary tomb of Tutankhamun is facing its greatest threat since British archaeologist Howard Carter first stepped into its shadowy chambers over a century ago. Recent scientific studies warn that the 3,300-year-old burial site, nestled deep within the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt, is now in a dangerously fragile state, with structural damage threatening to destroy one of archaeology’s most significant discoveries. The tomb, designated KV62 by Egyptologists, is suffering from widespread cracks, humidity-induced rock deterioration, and fading murals – all accelerated by environmental factors that have intensified over recent decades.
