The tomb of King Tutankhamun (about 1336-1327 BC) of the eighteenth family is world-renowned because it is the only Royal Graveyard of the Valley of the Kings whose contents have been discovered are relatively intact and complete. The discovery of the cemetery that was made in 1922 by Howard Carter had occupied the headlines in newspapers all over the world, accompanied by the emergence of golden antiques and other luxury pieces discovered by the cemetery. Tutankhamun's graveyard and treasures are an icon of Egypt and its discovery is still one of the most important archaeological discoveries so far.


Despite its distasteful fortunes, Tutankhamun's No. 62 cemetery in the Valley of the Kings is extremely modest in terms of size and architectural design compared to the other tombs on this site due to the arrival of Tutankhamun at the throne at a very young age and ruled for only about nine years. One could wonder what the tombs of powerful modern state kings like Hatshepsut, Thutum III, Amnhtep III and Ramses II could have contained, if that was what the boy king cemetery contained.


It is only the walls of the burial chamber that carry views unlike most of the previous and subsequent royal tombs that were richly decorated with funerary texts such as the book of Amy Dooat or the book of the gates that were intended to help the deceased king reach the other world, only one view of the book of Amy tools was painted in the tomb of Tutankhamun, and the rest of the scenery in the cemetery was conceived as funeral views or Tutankhamun accompanied by many idol.


Many speculations came out to us about the small size of Tutankhamun's tomb (KV62), when his successor King Ai died, he was buried in the cemetery (KV23), which was probably originally intended for Tutankhamun but had not been completed at the time of the young king's death. If so, it is unclear who carved the Tutankhamun (KV62) cemetery, but it was said that it already exists, either as a private cemetery or as a storage area which was later expanded to receive the king's mummy. Whatever the reason, the small size of the cemetery had contained about 5,000 discovered artifacts that were stacked very tightly. These pieces reflect the lifestyle of the Royal Palace, and include things that Tutankhamun used in his daily life such as clothing, jewelry, cosmetics, incense, furniture, chairs, toys and utensils made from a variety of materials, vehicles, weapons, etc.


It is a great irony in history that the little king Tutankhamun has been erased from the history of ancient Egypt because it is related to the king Akhenaten who has not been popular because of his religious coup, his fame has currently surpassed many of the greatest kings of ancient Egypt.
