Tomb of Tutankhamun

Tomb of Tutankhamun is the tomb where tutankhamun burried. It has other name KV62. People think that there are many jeweries in treasure chest but actually it's not because this tomb was entered at least twice before people came in. The coffin of tutankhamun was opened and there was no mummy and 60% of Jewerly treasure chest was removed too. They still don't know why.
