The article offers information about the Tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. The tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922 and was found out to be sealed off by officials and priests. It determines how the doorway of the tomb is covered with seals. It states that the tomb shows an evidence of two successive re-openings of its door and also a subsequent re-sealing.

The appearances and manner of sealings made to the tomb is offered as well as an illustration of the vertical space and doorway.
