Clarificatio : In the Young World Quiz which appeared on February 23, question 6 was: What famous discovery did the British Egyptologist Howard Carter make in February 1923.
The answer given was The sarcophagus of Tutankhamun.
Though the tomb was discovered in 1922 it was opened a year later because Howard Carter wanted his financial benefactor, Lord Carnavorn, to be present and he needed to come from England to Egypt for this. So while the tomb was discovered in 1922, the treasures were unearthed in 1923.
