Why is he considered the most famous pharaoh,he left behind the most fabulous stuff?
His tomb survived because he wasn’t one of the famous pharaohs. The tombs of the really famous pharaohs had long since been robbed. Basically his was overlooked.
Wikipedia says:
Tutankhamun seems to have faded from public consciousness in Ancient Egypt within a short time after his death, and remained virtually unknown until the 1920s. His tomb was robbed at least twice in antiquity, but based on the items taken (including perishable oils and perfumes) and the evidence of restoration of the tomb after the intrusions, it seems clear that these robberies took place within several months at most of the initial burial. Eventually the location of the tomb was lost because it had come to be buried by stone chips from subsequent tombs, either dumped there or washed there by floods. In the years that followed, some huts for workers were built over the tomb entrance, clearly not knowing what lay beneath. When at the end of the 20th Dynasty the Valley of the Kings burials were systematically dismantled, the burial of Tutankhamun was overlooked, presumably because knowledge of it had been lost and his name may have been forgotten.
Pretty much. I went to the last Tut exhibit a year or so ago when it toured America. They stated Tut had been written out of history because of his screwing around with the the idea of the Sun God being omnipotent and the old guards didn’t like that.
So after he died they hastily buried him and wrote him out of history consequentially, the grave robbers over the millennium never discovered his tomb and when the English explorer Howard Carter discovered his tomb after a 31 year search, it was filled with all the goodies buried with Tut thousands of years earlier.
