He's one of history's most famous kings - and now a 10 year restoration of Tutankhamun's tomb has been completed.

The Egyptian king's tomb was discovered in 1922 in what's now known as the Valley of the Kings. It was one of the most well preserved tombs that conservationists had ever found.

The tomb was filled with treasure and detailed wall paintings that showed the story of King Tutankhamun's life and death.

After the treasures had been catalogued and cleared, the tomb itself became a tourist destination when it was opened to the public in the 1930s.

But with the visitors came dust and carbon dioxide that affected the wall paintings and authorities started to worry about how long the tomb would last.

In 2009, the Getty Conservation Institute began a 10 year restoration project.

They carefully cleaned and restored the damaged wall paintings.

They also put in new barriers, walkways and viewing platforms and a ventilation system, in order to better protect the tomb in the future.

The project has been the biggest study of the tomb since it was first discovered. It is hoped that the upgrades will mean visitors can enjoy the tomb for many years to come.
