Don't be so ridiculous, they didn't have ladders in King Tuts day.
They had them 10 000 years ago in Spain.

But they were called escalera, not ladder.
They didn't have ladders in Spain.
Historical usage[edit]
Ladders are ancient tools and technology. A ladder is featured in a Mesolithic rock painting that is at least 10,000 years old, depicted in the Spider Caves in Valencia, Spain. The painting depicts two humans using a ladder to reach a wild honeybee nest to harvest honey. The ladder is depicted as long and flexible, possibly made out of some kind of grass.[11]
