In Tutankhamun's tomb, one of the burial artifacts found was a bed with sides in form of a cow. Archeologists think that it is probable that the purpose of this bed was to carry Tutankhamun to the solar heaven. According to legend, when the sun god ended his reign on earth, he ascended to the sky on the back of a cow goddess named Mehturt.
