Archaeologists were called in when a worker stumbled across a number of strange artefacts in Africa, leading to what may be one of the most significant shipwrecks ever found.

Few know that the young King Tut also enjoyed a vast collection footwear. The stunning find of Tutankhamun’s tomb KV62 by Howard Carter, one of the most exciting discoveries ever made by Egyptologists, captured headlines around the world back in the 1920’s. While his golden death mask has become an iconic symbol of ancient Egypt, it was only in 2007 that experts undertook an in-depth study into the king’s footwear.

Life is full of surprises, and sometimes, those surprises can be buried deep within the earth, waiting to be discovered. Imagine stumbling upon a hidden treasure under enormous rocks, covered with layers of thick, unforgiving mud. It’s a scenario that captures the essence of adventure and luck—a real-life treasure hunt that unfolds in the unlikeliest of places.
