King Tutankhamen, who took the throne around age 9 and died around age 19, was the last pharaoh of a controversial line of leaders in ancient Egypt. His tomb in the Valley of the Kings was the only pharaoh's tomb not robbed before its discovery in 1922, containing many artifacts crammed into four rooms across three nested coffins. Recent infrared scans have detected temperature changes and alignments behind Tutankhamen's tomb that suggest empty spaces and a possible connection to Queen Nefertiti's secret grave.
