Unbroken Seal on Pharaoh’s Tomb, 1922 (3,245 Years Untouched)
In 1922, archaeologist Howard Carter discovered Tutankhamun’s mostly intact tomb. Popularly nicknamed King Tut, the pharaoh ruled Egypt during the 18th dynasty, a period commonly referred to as the New Kingdom. He became a famous historical figure because he was only nine years old when he was given the title! His reign lasted for about a decade and the cause of his death remains unclear even until the present. This particular finding was the subject of international headlines back then and it renewed the public’s interest in ancient Egyptian history.

Last Known Photo of the Titanic Above Water, 1912
We have previously mentioned the Titanic in the article, though this is yet another important picture of the liner. This is believed to be the last image taken of the ship before it succumbed to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Everyone knows by now that it sunk after it collided with an iceberg on a trip from Southampton to New York City. Records show that there were about 2,224 crew and passengers on board and 1,500 of them died. The accident is among the deadliest commercial maritime disasters in modern times.
