Lonely Planet review for Tutankhamun's Tomb
The story of the celebrated discovery of the famous tomb and all the fabulous treasures it contained far outshines its actual appearance. The tomb is small and bears all the signs of a rather hasty completion and inglorious burial. The son of Akhenaten by a minor wife, he ruled briefly (1336-1327 BC) and died young, with no great battles or buildings to his credit, so there was little time to build a tomb.
