Origin[]
The tomb of Tutankhamun, also known by its tomb number, KV62, consists of four chambers and an entrance staircase and corridor. It is smaller and less extensively decorated than other Egyptian royal tombs of its time, and it probably originated as a tomb for a non-royal. Like other pharaohs, Tutankhamun was buried with a wide variety of funerary objects and personal possessions, such as coffins, furniture, clothing and jewelry, though in the unusually limited space these goods had to be densely packed. Robbers entered the tomb twice in the years immediately following the burial, but Tutankhamun's mummy and most of the burial goods remained intact. The tomb's low position, dug into the floor of the valley, allowed its entrance to be hidden by debris deposited by flooding and tomb construction.
Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered in 1922 by excavators led by Howard Carter. As a result of the quantity and spectacular appearance of the burial goods, the tomb attracted a media frenzy and became the most famous find in the history of Egyptology. The death of Carter's patron, the Earl of Carnarvon, in the midst of the excavation process inspired speculation that the tomb was cursed. The discovery produced only limited evidence about the history of Tutankhamun's reign and the Amarna Period that preceded it, but it provided insight into the material culture of wealthy ancient Egyptians as well as patterns of ancient tomb robbery. Tutankhamun became one of the best-known pharaohs, and some artifacts from his tomb, such as his golden funerary mask, are among the best-known artworks from ancient Egypt.

Effects[]
Brings forth a plentiful amount of useful items when one is within a high risk, potentially life threatening ordeal. Will bring whatever can be found useful to a person at the immediate moment. Tools, raw material, food and other items will clutter around the user. Gadgets as specific as an electronic tracker, destructive as thermite and large as a quarried rock can appear. Objects are interspersed randomly with no preference to what might be best used when in a kink.
Shrinks the user’s movement area to the size of the summoned objects. There’s stone walls and flooring at the extents of the items, forcing the user and anyone they’re with into a compact space. Movement is difficult and will require breaking out with some of the pieces after solving their problem.
