King Tutankhamun was found with so many riches as his tomb had not been robbed as badly as many other tombs, both because of position and rumors of the curse. After a few generations Ramses made his tomb, not knowing of Tutankhamun's, very close to Tutankhamun's. By doing this, all of the sand dug out to make Ramses tomb was put on top of where Tutankhamun's was. This hid it well and it was not known of until Carter discovered it in 1922. There is speculation that the people of Luxor knew of the tomb and that it was them that told Carter where it was. It is said that those people were scared of the curse and wanted to try and get something out of Carter for the information.

∙ 14y agothe Pharaohs derived their wealth from the fertile grain growing regions of the nile delta through a system of taxation. They also mounted punitive expeditions against their neighbours where they conquered people and took valuables and extracted tribute.
these people included the Nubians in the south and the people around ancient Palestine. The Nubians had vast amounts of gold and there were timber (cedar wood)and gem mines in area around modern day Lebanon.
