Two thrones were found in Tutankhamun's tomb, one of which was made of ebony. Because it resembles a bishop's seat, Carter called it the 'ecclesiastical throne' although there is no evidence that it had a specific religious purpose.
Another throne which is sometimes called the golden throne has a depiction of Tutankhamun and his wife, Ankhesenamun. The Pharaoh's partner was seen applying ointment or perfume to Tutankhamun.
8. Chariots

Six chariots were found in Tutankhamun's tomb. Researchers call the two most complex trains the state train. The in-depth analysis found that the object had a canopy over it that could provide shade for those riding it.
The chariot also has images of six foreign captives on its right side, as well as hieroglyphs with the names Tutankhamun and Ankhesenamun. It also has an image of a Sun eagle with outstretched wings and hieroglyphic inscriptions saying that the eagle represents Horus, the Egyptian god associated with the Sun.
