Carter opened the second coffin on October 23, and the team removed the lid of the innermost coffin on October 28, revealing the mummy. On October 13 the lid of the outermost coffin was removed. The Egyptian authorities eventually agreed that Carter should complete the tomb's clearance, and in January 1925 Carter returned. In February 1924 a dispute, caused by what Carter saw as excessive control by the Antiquities Service, led to a suspension of the excavation for nearly a year, with Carter leaving for a lecture tour in the United States. On February 12, 1924, they raised the granite lid of the sarcophagus. On February 16, 1923, the team opened the burial chamber.

Carter and his team began work in mid-December, and removed the first items-bead garments and sandals-from the tomb on December 27. Given the size and scope of the task ahead, Carter sought help from Albert Lythgoe of the Metropolitan Museum's excavation team, working nearby, who readily agreed to loan a number of his staff, including Arthur Mace and photographer Harry Burton, while the Egyptian government loaned analytical chemist Alfred Lucas. At this stage Carter had only one assistant, his friend Arthur Callender. The official opening of the tomb took place on November 29, 1922, with the first press report, in The Times, appearing the next day. "At first I could see nothing," he wrote, "the hot air escaping from the chamber causing the candle flame to flicker, but presently, as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold – everywhere the glint of gold." After a pause, Carnarvon asked, "Can you see anything?" Carter replied, "Yes, wonderful things." Investigation Īrthur Mace and Alfred Lucas conserve a chariot from the tomb, December 1923. Carter then made a hole in the door and used a candle to check for foul gases before looking inside. At the end of the tunnel was a second sealed door that had been breached and resealed in antiquity. Clearing the blocking led to a downward corridor that was completely blocked with packed limestone chippings, through which a robbers' tunnel had been excavated and anciently refilled. However, further examination showed that the door blocking had been breached and resealed on at least two occasions.

The excavators cleared the stairway completely, which revealed clearer seals lower down on the door bearing the name of Tutankhamun. Carter ordered the staircase to be refilled and sent a telegram to Carnarvon, who arrived on Novemalong with his 21-year-old daughter Lady Evelyn Herbert. The doorway was stamped with indistinct cartouches (oval seals with hieroglyphic writing). Carter had the steps partially dug out until the team found the top of a mud-plastered doorway. The crew cleared the huts and rock debris beneath, and their young water boy, Hussein Abdel-Rassoul, stumbled on a stone which turned out to be the top of a flight of steps cut into the bedrock. Lord Carnarvon employed British Egyptologist Howard Carter to excavate the site of KV62, and in 1922 Carter returned to a line of huts that he had abandoned a few seasons earlier. Hussein Abdel-Rassoul wearing a large pectoral found in the tomb The outermost doors were unsealed leading into the shrines enclosing the king's nested coffins, though the inner two shrines remained intact and sealed.

Tutankhamun's tomb had been entered at least twice not long after his mummy was buried. The contents were all transported to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. It took eight years to empty due to the state of the tomb and to Carter's meticulous recording technique. The tomb was densely packed with items in great disarray due to its small size, the two robberies, and the apparently hurried nature of its completion. Howard Carter discovered it in 1922 underneath the remains of workmen's huts built during the Ramesside Period this explains why it was largely spared the desecration and tomb clearances at the end of the 20th Dynasty, although it was robbed and resealed twice in the period after its completion. It is renowned for the wealth of valuable antiquities that it contained. The tomb of young pharaoh Tutankhamun (designated KV62 in Egyptology) is located in the Valley of the Kings, near Thebes, Egypt (modern-day Luxor).
