King Tutankhamun (more commonly known as King Tut) is considered the most recognizable Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. 

His gold-plated sarcophagus is instantly identifiable and is synonymous with ancient Egyptian imagery. 

In 1922, after years of searching, British archaeologist Howard Carter located the tomb of the king, who ascended the throne when he was just eight years old. It would not be until 1924 that the burial chamber was opened, and the study of King Tut himself would begin. 

The tomb itself was such a significant find because of the nearly pristine state it was in. It had been broken into and raided at least twice since it was initially sealed, but it was more intact than any other tomb that Carter and his team had previously found. 

Not to sound grim or anything, but let’s flip the script a bit here. 

Ancient Egyptians were buried with trinkets they would potentially need in the afterlife, like furniture, bowls, and food. The richest among them had jewelry – and kings would have solid gold masks. 

If this custom still existed, what would you take with you on your journey? (You can say your iPhone because that totally counts).  

The things we own that are most important to us define us when we are gone. They become our legacy. These things are what we leave behind to our loved ones and the world. 

Not all of us can rise to power over an entire dynasty at the age of 8. But, we want to help you build a legacy of your own with a foundation of what’s important to you. (Yours may not involve a solid gold sarcophagus, but there’s always gotta be a high bar set somewhere, right?)
