The Burial Chamber
Beyond the antechamber's surprisingly unadorned walls, lays the beautifully decorated and superbly mummified corpse of the late great King Tutankhamun. Guarded by two huge figures of the god Anubis, the sarcophagus is ornately decorated and almost intimidating.
Each of the walls surrounding the sarcophagus is richly decorated with paintings of several scenes of Tut interacting with the different gods and goddesses. On the northern wall, Tut is being welcomed into the afterlife by the goddess Nut. The scene on the eastern wall depicts King Tut being carried into the grave by mourners. He is placed on a sled with a canopy covering it. The southern wall is occupied by the goddess Isis, who is accompanied by god Hathor and Anubis. The last and westernmost wall is covered with twelve baboons that symbolized the twelve hours of the night it took the pharaoh to travel into the afterlife. The stunning murals inside King Tut's burial chamber are impressive and puzzling for scholars around the world.
The large golden shrine that most people think of when they think of King Tutankhamun is located in the burial chamber. That shrine is covered by another shrine that directly covers Tut's sarcophagus. Along the sides of the sarcophagus there are boat ores that will assist him in traveling to the afterlife. The emblem of Anubis is painted on the shrine to guard the mummy. The burial chamber is by far the most intricate, decorated, and overall beautiful room in the tomb.
