King Tut’s golden mask is one of the most famous treasures in the world, but it turns out it was hiding a secret all along! Experts recently discovered that the mask wasn’t originally made for Tutankhamun—it was actually meant for someone else. Closer examination revealed traces of another name underneath his, suggesting it may have belonged to a different pharaoh, possibly Queen Nefertiti. This shocking twist changes what we thought we knew about the young king’s burial and the rush to prepare his tomb. It seems like ancient Egyptians repurposed royal artifacts in ways we never imagined. Who knows what other hidden secrets are waiting to be uncovered?
