Depending on the type, they can range from modest burial chambers to intricate mazes of rooms and passageways. Almost all tombs, including the pyramids, were raided and looted in antiquity. Tutankhamen's tomb is one of the few that is still closed and has practically everything inside, including his mummy, intact.
