Egypt inaugurates the Grand Egyptian Museum near the Giza Pyramids, showcasing King Tut’s treasures and boosting tourism and the economy.
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.
Perhaps the museum’s biggest draw will be its massive collection related to King Tutankhamun, the boy Pharaoh who ruled Egypt from about 1332 to 1323 B.C., per AP. His tomb was discovered almost completely intact in 1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter.
