Tutankhamun was a young Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh of Egypt. Sick from birth, Tutankhamun knew his life was short and assigned his architects to build a hidden tomb for his Ka that bested those of his predecessors within the Valley of the Kings. Tutankhamun then saw to it that his priests cursed the place of burial.
Upon his death, the boy king's remains were placed within a multi-layered coffin surrounded by images of his family, gods and nobles. The Pharaoh's Ring of Osiris was placed upon a statue replica of Tutankhamun and his Ka, his spirit twin, lay dormant inside until it was disturbed.
Though Howard Carter had long been looking since at least 1908, and found the boy king in the November of 1922, it was in fact German archaeologist Gustav von Trappen who first uncovered Tutankhamun's tomb, and Indiana Jones and Sallah Mohammed Faisel el-Kahir that came across the sarcophagus in 1913.
