The King of Golden Death:


 * "In all the long history of the Ancient Egyptians, practically every tomb [...] has been ransacked by tomb-robbers, [etc]. One notable exception was the tomb of the boy King, Tut-Ankh-Amen. Now wouldn't it be most strange if we discover that lost tomb, three thousand years before Howard Carter found it, in 1923."

Still have to finish reading it, but unless something directly contradictory comes up, I think that settles it: in the DWU, Howard Carter discovered King Tut's tomb in 1923.
