Tutankhamun is the most famous as he was found most recently and he was found in a very different condition to other mummies. His preservation had clearly been rushed and the tomb was not fit for a pharaoh, not destined for him, it is not meant to hold him. It is because his death was so sudden.
How did ancient Egypt make paper?
It was a very simple but long process.
Dense growths of the Cyperus papyrus plant were a typical feature of ancient Egypt; it was particularly common in the Delta. The stems were first cut lengthways into thin strips which were laid close together, then covered with a second layer at right angles to the first. These were sprinkled with water, then pounded with stone hammers; this flattened the layers and released sticky juices that acted as a natural glue.
This pounding went on for some time, eventually producing a very thin but strong sheet between 15 and 50 cms wide. Once dry the white surface could be used to write with ink that would not run or fade for a very long period. The sheets were then glued together to create long strips and wound around wooden rods - making "scrolls", some 40 meters long.
Many people do not know that the word "papyrus" (and also its derivative "paper") comes from ancient Egyptian pa per-aA, meaning "something from the Great House" or "something royal".

What Made Hapshepsut THE pharaoh Famous?
She builds the Djeser-Djeseru. We know it as The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. It is located at Deir el-Bahri, The Obelisks of Hatshepsut and The Red Chapel. She lived in the Palace of Ma'at. It was rectangular structure. The capital was Thebes, Amarna, and then again Thebes. In terms of trade, Hatshepsut was not blind to the need of bolstering Egypt's economy' and indeed, the Punt expedition is but the climax of her consistent trading enterprises with Lebanon, Crete, Syria, West Africa, South Africa, Aswan and the reopening of mines in Mt. Sinai. She traded Ivory, gold, silver and other goods for eating. Hatshepsut's legacy is also extant in the enduring architectural innovations she incorporated into her building program. The design of Djeser-Djeseru is a prime example; although there exists a few doubtful precursors of the terraced template originality of the design cannot be gainsaid.' The thematic structure of the three terraces, from her role as pharaoh, to legitimization of her rule and achievements, to the worship of the deities is indisputably her own invention, as were the ramps linking them, imitating the glory of a sun's ray. Thutmose III modeled his mortuary temple on Hatshepsut's whilst Akhenaten incorporated the design of the ramps into his own buildings. Similarly, the design of Hatshepsut's tomb, with the three successive passageways leading to the burial chamber, her royal sarcophagus, her resting stations for Amun's barque were likewise replicated by her successors. Therefore, Hatshepsut's reign was characterized by a myriad of architectural innovations that became her legacy, to be admiringly integrated into the buildings of the future generations of pharaohs. Extreme prosperity and renaissance in art and building projects mark the beginning of this period. Towards the end of the 19th Dynasty the increasing power of the priesthood corrupts the central government. During the 20th Dynasty tomb robbing is done by officials. The priesthood becomes hereditary and begins to assume secular power. The government breaks down.
