Hi. Just wondering if anyone knows where to find some translations of
the hieroglyphs in King Tut's tomb.. the four burial chamber walls.
Online data would be best, though even some book references would also
be useful. Thanks for any information!

Nothing specifically online would assist you, unless you want to acess
the Tutankhamun database at the Ashmolean Museum.

http://www.ashmolean.museum/gri/4tut.html

Each photograph at the Ashmolean has a card written by Carter and/or
Gardiner. In Gardiner's case, these were translations of specific
objects which Harry Burton photographed. However, it is not a
complete record of everything in the tomb.

As to a complete translation of the tomb inscriptions, you have to get
this publication:

Beinlich, H. and M. Saleh. 1989. _Corpus der Hieroglyphischen
Inschriften aus dem Grab des Tutanchamun_. Oxford: Griffith Institute.

HTH.
