Tombs By: Rabea Alfahad • Decoration • Only the burial chamber in the tomb of Tutankhamun was decorated which is unusual because in royal tombs almost all of the walls were generally painted with scenes from the Amduat (the Book of the Dead). In this case, the burial chamber had a golden background and was decorated with scenes from the Opening of the Mouth ritual and the Amduat (Book of the Dead), and with depictions of Tutankhamun with various gods. • The apes of the first hour of the Amduat are depicted on the west wall. On the North wall Tutankhamun appears before the goddess Nut and the royal ka embraces Osiris. • Further along the wall there is a depiction of Ay wearing the blue war crown of a pharaoh (indicating that he became pharaoh shortly after the death of the young king) performing the Opening of the Mouth ritual before the mummy of Tutankhamun. • On the east wall a spell from the Amduat (Book of the Dead) appears, along with a depiction of the funeral procession of Tutankhamun. His mummy is drawn along on a sledge during the funeral procession and he is followed by two of his viziers to the king and a third individual thought by many to be Horemheb. • The decoration on the south wall depicts Tutankhamun with Anubis and Hathor and a further scene depicting Tutankhamun being welcomed into the underworld by Hathor, Anubis and Isis. The ceiling was decorated with a depiction of Nut with her wings spread to embrace the resting place of the pharaoh.
