King Tut's Chair



King Tutankhamun's throne chair is an extraordinary and exquisite piece, among the greatest wonders of ancient Egyptian civilization. The throne was discovered in 1922 by the British archeologist Howard Carter. It was found beneath the Hippopotamus funerary bed in the antechamber of the Tomb of Tutankhamun.

But being the superstitious type, I wouldn't sit in it for money. Spirits, and not good ones, tend to attach themselves to things like this.
