Abstract
The most famous tomb at the Valley of the Kings, KV 62 housed so far the most intact discovery ofroyal funerary treasures belonging to the eighteenth dynasty boy-king Tutankhamun. The tomb has asimple architectural plan clearly prepared for a non- royal burial. However, the hastily death ofTutankhamun at a young age caused his interment in such unusually small tomb. The treasuresdiscovered were immense in number, art finesse and especially in the amount of gold used. Of thesetreasures the largest shrine of four shrines laid in the burial chamber needed to be dismantled andreassembled in the tomb because of its immense size. Clearly the black marks on this shrine helpedin the assembly and especially the orientation in relation to the burial chamber. These marks aretotally incorrect and prove that Tutankhamun was definitely intended to be buried in another tomb.
