A sarcophagus is a coffin and holds the body of the dead. Some are made of a stone like marble, carved the figures, and very decorative. Others can be simple wood. Tut's had an outside stone one and inside was the decorated one with his body.

There were 3 nested coffins. The innermost coffin was solid gold, and the famous solid gold facemask was resting on the mummy's face within this gold coffin.

These are arguably the most spectacular and beautiful ancient artifacts ever found in Egypt. It is the only site in Egypt where the nested and gold leafed shrines, the sarcophagus within the shrines, the coffins mask and mummy of an ancient Egyptian king have been found utterly untouched since the funeral rites of the king were carried out. Other parts of the small tomb were ravaged by grave robbers, but they were caught, apparently, and the tomb was re-sealed in ancient times by the necropolis priesthood.
