Many chests were indeed found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Even the Greeks and Romans used them for all significant journeys. At that time, the trunk was a wooden and bronze chest, sometimes decorated with ivory and precious metal ornaments. The lid was flat to allow stacking trunks in the mode of transport used. At the discovery of America in 1492, trunks filled with all the new fruits and products from the New World crossed the ocean to reach the Old World.
