The Tomb Of King Tutankhamun

It carries no 62 in the Valley of the Kings (KV 62). It is a small tomb it is cut down into the bedrock of the valley, probably been made initially for the high priest Ay. The ENTRANCE STAIRWAY consists of 16 steps going down to the CORRIDOR and this corridor leads to the ANTECHAMBER and the antechamber leads to the ANNEXE at the northern end while the eastern side leads to the BURIAL CHAMBER, which leads in its turn to the TREASURY on the eastern side. THE BURIAL CHAMBER is the only decorated room in the tomb.Everything found there was crammed over each other, every space was used that is because of the king's sudden death, which caused the people to put everything in very rapidly even the daily life equipments were put in together with the funerary equipment. Also there was no time to decorate the whole tomb. Only the burial chamber was decorated because the dead king would need all the spells depicted on the walls closer to his body for his protection in the afterlife. The walls were painted very quickly and the tomb was rapidly closed. That's why when the burial chamber was opened, the walls were covered with fungus because the paints didn't have time to fully dry, and this maybe one of the reasons that caused people's death after the discovery; not as was said because of the curse of the pharaohs. "Death will come on swift wings for those who will disturb the king" but these words were just a spell, or not?!Some events triggered the famous so-called "CURSE OF THE PHARAHS" related to the opening of the tomb of Tutankhamun:o Carter's canary was eaten by a cobra on the day of discoveryo Death of Lord Carnarvon as a result of a mosquito bite, after slashing his cheek while shaving and the wound became infected.o However, many others who visited the tomb or helped to discover it lived long and healthy lives. A study showed that of the 58 people who were present when the tomb and sarcophagus were opened, only EIGHT died within a dozen years. All the others were still alive, including HOWARD CARTER, who later died of lymphoma at the age of 64 in 1939 TUTANKHAMUN'S BURIAL:Around the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun there are 4 shrines one inside the other in order to protect the mummy. After the outermost shrine everything remained completely intact so they didn't reach the precious jewellery, which were placed directly on the mummy as a kind of protection as jewellery was used as amulets for protection.

So at the age of 25 years he has been entrusted to work on Egyptian territory to carry out the excavation and restoration of sites, including the maintenance of ancient Egyptian artifacts.

Until finally he was obsessed with finding one ancient Egyptian pharaoh's tomb from the 18th dynasty, known as Tutankhamen (Tutankhamun). This obsession turns out to be "hunting" the hardest and longest in his life.

The point of Pharaoh Tutankhamen's tomb quest is concentrated around the Valley of the Kings in the West Bank, near Luxor. Over the years of digging and research to do but never sought the tomb was found.

During the excavations he found only sand desert and if a little lucky there found such urns that led to the reign of Tutankhamen. The first ten years of excavations, recent advances are found only pieces of clothing and chunks of rock bearing the name Tutankhamen and the trail that leads to the reign of the pharaoh's 18-year-old.

The entire expedition team was getting frustrated while the costs are many and financial stocks have been very thin. But amid the frustration his colleagues, Howard Carter remains optimistic that his estimates were correct that the Pharaoh Tutankhamen must have been buried in the valley. He believes that the ruler of Thebes the tombs of ancient Egypt's exactly together in the valley they were dug.

For the continuation of the expedition, he went to "sponsor" Lord Carnarvon. Aristocrats who loved antique and antique mengultimatum Howard Carter that he could no longer support the expedition. However, H Carter convinced Carnarvon that he only needed one more chance.

In early November 1922, H Carter began digging last. Excavations carried out at one point that has never been touched before. At this location, he found such a complex where the grave diggers of the slaves lived and a few other ancient artifacts.

When the excavation continues, a foreman named Ali reported the discovery of a stone staircase down around the complex. Excavation was continued for two days and clear the stone staircase leads to a closed door. Lord Carnarvon was ditelegram told that the door of the tomb of Tutankhamen was discovered.

After Carnarvon arrived on the scene, two days later the stone door to the tomb was opened successfully. Inside the hall there is a jumble of rocks decorated with Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs on the wall next to the door.

Carter tried to open the door by chiseling stone crevice. After shifting some rocks, he made a small hole. Of the gap he put the candle to peer into the dark room behind the door.

What he saw amazed him still for a moment. He has found the tomb he is looking for twenty years, the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen.

The room was well organized with a few pots of flowers, jewel throne throne, royal clothes, some household tool sets, knives and guns, odd-shaped sculpture, and some treasure chests.

Inside there is a mummy coffin was sealed with the name of Tutankhamen. The casket was made up of three layers. And the last layer is made of pure gold plate engraved.
