Studies show that Tutankhamun’s tomb in Egypt is deteriorating due to cracks, fungal growth and rising humidity. This damage is directly linked to flash floods and climate change which have therefore increased moisture and weakened the surrounding limestone and shale.
Sayed Hemeda from Cairo University found that the fault lines running through the tomb are expanding thus allowing rainwater to seep in and threaten the structure.
Experts urge immediate reinforcement, moisture control and risk monitoring to prevent irreversible damage.
