Crude clay trays and wooden staffs discovered among the opulent treasures within Tutankhamun’s tomb may represent the earliest evidence of a significant royal funerary rite in ancient Egypt. This interpretation suggests the boy king’s final interment was distinct from those of other pharaohs.

Tutankhamun’s brief, nine-year reign during the 14th century BC occurred shortly after a period of religious upheaval in ancient Egypt.
