What if the rumors about hidden doors in KV62 are real?
The burial chamber was originally sealed with plaster and painted over, and the bottom of it was partly open to allow painters to exit, not robbers breaking in because robbers didn't know that was an escape route. If robbers knew about the doors being only plaster the other proposed doors would also be open. The tomb was found in a disarray or confusion, items were not neatly stacked on top of couches and furniture. IF the tomb was sealed these items would be in better condition. The tomb was probably opened first by thieves, then someone decided to add his family and cover the entrance with rubble and seal it. The burial chamber was then taken apart and reassembled after someone sealed up the room and repainted the mural or painted it, as indicated by the arrangement of the golden shrines around the stone sarcophagus. Tutankhamon's tomb was probably larger than discovered. The missing rooms had his items neatly arranged. If his Queen wanted to be buried near her husband rather than in her own tomb, all was needed was to open KV62 and clear the way to her sections and then push his stuff out into the rooms discovered in 1920s. King Ay was on the mural in the burial chamber for 2 reasons: one, he was the last male heir of the King (Opening of the Mouth ceremony requires this), and two, he reopened the tomb to put Ankhesenamon in it after she died (she was married to Ay after Tut died). Items from Tut's tomb were saved by her and placed in the closed off sections. Below is my theory about this expansion... MC.
