Treasury
The treasury room was loaded with many items such as shrines, chests, boats, and two of King Tut’s stillborn daughters. This room could easily be accessed directly through the burial chamber on the eastern side of the room’s wall. There was, however, a statue guard with a large portable shrine of the jackal-headed god named Anubis was strategically placed at the entrance.
Another magnificent item found within this room was a carved wooden shrine gilded in gold that contained four canopic jars of Tutankhamun. This shrine had four gods on each side named Selket, Isis, Nepthys, and Neith. They were used to ward off any evil and to safeguard the organs for eternity. The canopic jars that were placed within this shrine were made of alabaster. They were finely carved and painted with black markings to show the pharaoh’s features in fine detail. These alabaster jars held the pharaohs liver, stomach, lungs, and intestines. This room contained 14 boats as well. These boats were for the pharaoh to use in his afterlife and everyday proceedings. Some of the boats were intended to float the pharaoh through the 12 hours of night and darkness before the sun would rise again. All the boats within the tomb point toward the west because of this.
