This is not the grandest tomb in Egypt, and certainly has not been
occupied by one of the most powerful rulers of Egypt. But in general,
the population of the world know the tomb of Tutankhamen (KV 62) better
than any other, because of all the royal tombs, it was found largely
intact.
What was found in this tomb surely gives us pause to understand the motive behind ancient tomb flights. If such a vast fortune in treasure (in all, some 3,500 items were recovered) was found in this tomb belongs to a small relatively minor king, what must have dazzled the eyes of thieves who first entered the tomb of Ramses II huge, or one of the great kings of Egypt other? Of course, the list of funerary equipment was very useful to Egyptologists, giving them an idea of what had been removed by other royal tombs
