The Annex
The annex is the smallest room in King Tutankhamun's tomb. Howard Carter documented 280 items within the annex. Although it contains less objects than the antechamber, the annex, when first discovered, was extremely messy. This is because many robbers have tried to smuggle treasures out of the tiny room. Carter accessed the chamber through a small door cut out of one of the walls. The annex room lay three feet below the antechamber.
The annex contained many foods and drinks. Various wines and valuable oils were placed in the annex to make sure that the king was well-fed and pampered in the afterlife. Pottery, stools, games, and baskets were also buried. Although the oils were valuable, grave robbers often made a bee-line for the gold and silver pieces of the games. If they were not stolen, the annex would have many more cataloged items.
