Why was tutankhamun tomb so important?
It is the only ancient Egyptian tomb ever discovered that was technically intact. The tomb was raided by robbers in ancient times, and so it was not discovered exactly as it was left at the time of the burial. Large amounts of the furnishings in the two outer chambers were left in heaps, and there was evident damage. But the intrusion was discovered before robbers had a chance to destroy the entire tomb. We know this because of the vast quantity of treasure left in the tomb. Also, the sarcophagus and the gilt shrines surrounding it were completely untouched; they were sealed with the bindings and seals of the king's priests and left just as they were at the time of burial. Carter, the tomb's discoverer, knew that from that point on he was opening materials that had never ever before been found in their original, untouched state. Then of course there was the unimaginably fortunate discovery of the breathtaking and priceless gold coffins within the sarcophagus.
The final proof that the tomb was technicallyintact was the outermost seals of the tomb. These were not the seals of the king himself (They would have found the king's seals if the tomb had been completely untouched) but the seals of the necropolis, the seals of the priests in charge of overall security of the Valley of the Kings. This was proof that the tomb had been opened after its original sealing, but also proof that it had been resealed in ancient times and not touched since. That is why the tomb is often described as having been found 'intact'. It is a technical designation attesting that the tomb had not been touched since ancient times.
Another fortunate event in the history of Tut's tomb is the fact that later tomb builders in the valley constructed their temporary stone dwellings right over the buried entry to the tomb. Layers of rubble were also dumped there by later archeologists exploring nearby parts of the valley. All of this helped to obscure the site as a potential dig. It seems evident that all or most of the ancient robbers must have been caught, or the tomb would not have remained untouched after the second sealing.
