Fantastic treasures, most containing gold in one form or another. Many of the items in the tomb were put there for the purpose of assisting the king during his travels in the afterlife (including weapons).
Some of the containers were made to hold the intestines of the mummy. Furniture that the king had used as a child. Items that look like they could have taken years to make so as soon as he became king craftsman must have started making the items so they would be ready when the king died. There are many books and videos (and there was a display of many of the actual objects in Philadelphia last year) that explain a thousand times better than I can.
