The funerary banners do not bear the cartouches of Tutankhamun but those of the later, 19th Dynasty pharaoh Seti I. In addition, the names are associated with the wrong title. The "Sedge and Bee" (throne name) cartouche contains the "Son of Re" name (personal name) Seti, Beloved of Ptah while the "Son of Re" cartouche contains the throne name Men-maat-Re.
Unlike what is seen earlier in the film, there is no evidence that work had been undertaken for a grand tomb for Tutankhamun. During the forty-day embalming process a tomb for a nobleman was appropriated and decorated, and other funerary items were hastily prepared.
The famous gold mask of the king was modified, with new facial features. When the tomb's discoverer Howard Carter finally worked his way to the sarcophagus and the mask was revealed (more than a year after the tomb had been discovered) he touched one of the ears and discovered that a thin layer of gold leaf covered enlarged holes in the ears where earrings would have been placed if the mummy had been female. It is not known for whom the mask had been originally prepared.
Unlike the large entrance to the tomb as seen in the film, the entrance was little more than a series of carved stone steps leading downward to a door sealed in plaster and hieroglyphs. It was later found to have not been original plaster, as at some point thieves had broken in. With the exception of an unknown number of gold and jeweled items, most of the goods were recovered and tossed into the tomb in random piles of items large and small, and the new seal was applied.
