world’s Press more than any other monument with its magnificent golden funerary
furniture. It was Discovered in 1922 by the British Egyptologist Howard Carter
when his water boy accidentally Stumbled on a stone that turned out to be the
top of a flight of steps cut into the bedrock. He Had the steps dug out until a
mud plastered doorway was found.

the modest small size of the tomb. We believe , it might have been intended for
a High ranking official and that it had been completed in a hurry upon the
unexpected death of The boy king who died at 19 years of age , for whom no tomb
had been prepared in time. His Mummy was scanned in 2005 showing a fracture in one of his legs with an
open wound that Might have led to death from infection.
