          Many pharaohs in ancient Egypt, for example King Ramses the Great is famous for the land expanded or the victories in battles, but why is it that king Tutankhamen is the most recognized and the most famous pharaoh ever known today? The answer is that King Tutankhamen’s tomb is the only tomb ever known that was not touched or robbed by anyone since ancient Egypt.

It was November 4 1922, when HowardCarter and his crew found the tomb of King Tutankhamen, which is also known as KV62.

                     As HowardCarter steps in the Antechamber, the first room of this tomb, he sees many treasures that were almost untouched, since it was believed that this room had been broken into more than once leaving everything disorganize. King Tutankhamen’s golden throne and many carved beds and furniture were found, including the most attractive golden couches that were carved into animals, for example cats or lions. To the right side of the Antechamber two huge statues are guarding the burial chamber.

          The Burial Chamber was sealed behind a plaster door, inside there are many shrines each golden shrine was larger than the other, and in the inner golden shrine laid the coffin of King Tutankhamen and the most famous treasure, his 54 cm (21in) high and weighs around 11kg or solid gold, golden death mask that covered the head and shoulders of King Tutankhamen. At each corner of the sarcophagus stands the four protective goddess, Isis, Nephthys, Serket, and Neith guarding the body of King Tutankhamen. The walls surrounding the chamber showed many afterlife paintings, and it is also the only room that contains drawings on walls. Heading south, HowardCarter reaches the Treasury Chamber.

          The Treasury Chamber has King Tutankhamen's most precious pieces. A humongous statue of Anubis guards the entrance of the Treasury chamber. Into the center of the chamber a large golden shrine contains the organs of King Tutankhamen with the goddess Selket on the four sides of the shrine guarding the organs. Many shrines and statues of King Tutankhamen made with pure gold were found in the treasury chamber. The last room that HowardCarter discovered is the Annex.

          Although, the Annex does not have much attraction, it hold some daily life objects and uses, for example pots and pans, it was a great help to the scientist and historians in understanding more about the daily life of an Egyptian or as a Pharaoh. Every though this chamber is small but this allows the pharaoh to take these everyday items to his afterlife.
