Beyond King Tut allows visitors to explore the archives of the National Geographic Society in a multi-gallery journey through the boy king’s story.
With nine multimedia galleries to explore, explorers found themselves immersed inside the story of a young boy who ruled as pharaoh more than 3,000 years ago.
