... in particular, why it was smaller than those of other kings' tombs.
Tut died unexpectedly and at such a young age they hadn't even started his tomb. Naturally, they used what was available and not being a king's tomb, it was smaller.

Not to mention that his uncle or father Akhenaten had just about ruined the Kingdom. There was a great deal of rebuilding to do and not a lot of money to do it.

I visited King Tuts tomb some years back, it is quite small,

I asked one of the guides if there was any possibility of an undiscovered chamber or hidden tomb, his response was an immediate and emphatic no ‘we know of all the Kings’ or something to that effect, which just confirmed to me all I suspected,

I just smiled and nodded back,
