well it was thought in the 20's and 30's that the supposed "Curse" had scared robbers away. However tutankhamun's tomb had been robbed; foot prints were found in the tunnel's dust. They assume these were priests who had known Tutankhamun because they go straight to the most valuable rooms. A rag containing gold rings was on the floor. As it turns out approximately 60% of treasures & jewels had been taken. Leaving today with only 40% left.

Hope this helps...

Soon after the burial of King Tut, robbers broke in. They were caught in the act by officials and his things were reorganized. The tomb was sealed again. Many years later, workmen building a tomb nearby, made their huts on top of the tomb unknowingly. Later flooding erased any evidence of it ever being there. It was not noticed again until the discovery.

It was believed that if someone will rob the King Tutankhamun's tomb they will suffer from a curse. But it was later discovered that the tomb was already been robbed not just once but twice.
