The chapels were assuring the inviolability of the real sarcofagus and the uncorruptibility of the mummy, so that his body should be still alive in the fields of Laru (the paradise), and to continue with his earthly occupations.
In 1922 Howard Carter found the coffins of Tuthankhamón. The "house" that he was keeping the coffins of the Pharaoh was known of four chapels, fitted one inside other one.
All the chapels were made of golden wood, but, but, in contrast to others, first it did not have the sealed door.
In the door of the second chapel, the stamp of the Pharaoh was showing the imperturbabilidad of the "house" since it had been closed.
The walls of the third chapel of Tuthankhamón were full of hieroglyphic inscriptions.
Inside the fourth chapel it was looking like the coffin of quartzite, which was containing three sarcofagi of the Pharaoh.
