His tomb was found full of gold and was the only one not robbed because other tombs collapsed on it. But no one robbed it because if they did they would they would think that they would be cursed by the tuts curse

but it turned out that his tomb was never cursed the only reason that lord carnavon died because of the bacteria on the walls (ex. mold)

His fame comes from his being one of the most intact graves of a Pharaoh ever found giving an amazing insight into the religion, wealth, and culture of the ancient Egyptians. And he was the youngest pharaoh.

There are several reasons, but one of the most prominent is that Tutankhamun was buried in a relatively obscure spot and his tomb was not robbed in ancient times, meaning that when Howard Carter discovered it in 1922 it was relatively intact. This meant all his burial treasures were still there, and they have been part of a traveling museum exhibit that has toured the world. For most other Pharoahs, thieves took everything of value from their tombs that wasn't too heavy to move long before the modern era.
