The Tomb of Tut Ankh Amun



In its structuerand decoration,the tomb is one of the most impressive. Due to the immense treasuers of art and archaeology it yields, which have made it the most famous, the tomb, discovered in the earlypart of the 1900's, was hasitly prepared for a pharaoh of secondary importance, who died very young .Tutankhamun lived in that troubled period of political-religious sturggles that followed the death of the great pharaoh Akhnaton, disorders that were put down a few years later by the powerful Horemheb. A short corridor leads to an antechamber which gave onto the burial chamber and the treasury on the right,while opposite is another room for the offerings and the furnishings.
