A sarcophagus is an ornately decorated stone container built to hold a coffin. Ancient Egyptians believed that they were to be the eternal dwelling of those who laid within them, and they were often reserved for pharaohs and wealthy citizens. #beyondkingtut #nationalgeographic

Guarding Tut's tomb was Anubis, the protector of graves. In front of his statue was a "magic brick" inscribed with a warning to those who dared disturb the pharaoh's burial chamber. Learn more about Tut's tomb at beyondkingtut.com. #beyondkingtut #nationalgeographic
