His tomb was the smallest in the Valley of the Kings
The tombs in the Valley of the Kings were built well after the wave of gigantic pyramids propagated by the early pharaohs. With discreet doors, they were produced at the time of the New Kingdom (1550-1069 BC) and were spacious and well decorated inside.
However, Tutankhamun’s tomb was probably not the one where he would want to be. It was in the Western Valley where his grandfather, Amenhotep III, was buried. He likely would have died too young for his tomb to be finished. Another hypothesis is that his tomb is much larger than we imagine and still has undiscovered compartments.
