Today's Quiz of the Week is on Tutankhamun's tomb (also spelled Tutankhamen), the best known tomb in Egypt, after the pyramids at Giza. Built during the New Kingdom for the short-term ruler (ca 1342-1325 BC), King Tut's tomb inspired all kinds of people, from the art deco movement to stand-up comic Steve Martin.
