KV62 – Tomb of Tutankhamun .. Part ( 28 )

General view

The discovery of this tomb, with its priceless contents, by far the most valuable find of modern Egyptology from an artistic point of view, though less important historically, was made by Mr. Howard Carter, working in collaboration with the late Earl of Carnarvon, on 4^th November, 1922 .

KV57 – Tomb of Horemhab .. Part ( 27 )

Historical notice

KV55 – Tomb of Queen Tiye (?) or King Akhenaten (?) .. Part ( 26 )

General view

This tomb, unsculptured and uninscribed, has great historical interest . It was discovered in 1907 by Mr. Edward Russell Ayrton and Mr. Theodore Monroe Davis, and lies between the tomb of Ramses VI ( KV9 ) and that of Ramses IX ( KV6 ), quite close, in fact, to the tomb of Tutankhamun .

KV47 – Tomb of Siptah .. Part ( 25 )

Another Mr. Theodore Monroe Davis find . The tomb lies near those of Setnakht, Tuthmosis I and Seti II, in the west side of the valley . Siptah was, it will be remembered, the Pharaoh who was the first husband of Queen Tausret, and who, indeed, attained the royal title by his marriage with that lady, who was queen in her own right .

KV46 – Tomb of Yuya and Tjuyu .. Part ( 24 )

General view

This is another of the Mr. Theodore Monroe Davis finds, and was one of the most important of them, not because of any quality in the tomb itself, which is a comparatively rude and unpretentious piece of work, consisting merely of a flight of steps, a steeply sloping corridor, a second flight of steps, and the burial-chamber, but because of the historical importance of the persons who occupied it, and of the wealth and beauty of the funerary furniture found in it .

KV43 – Tomb of Tuthmosis IV .. Part ( 23 )

General view

This tomb was excavated by Mr. Howard Carter and Mr. Theodore Monroe Davis in 1903 . The results of the work are now to be seen in the Cairo Museum ( see No. 3000, U 48, east, there, the front of the king's battle-chariot ) .

KV42 – Tomb of Hatshepsut-Meryet-Ra .. Part ( 22 )

This tomb was certainly made for a royalty, but it is unfinished and uninscribed . It consists of a rough flight of steps, a sloping passage, a small chamber, and the oval burial-hall, with two pillars .

KV38 – Tomb of Tuthmosis I .. Part ( 20 )

From the point of view of history, this tomb is the most important in the valley, as it was the one which set the fashion of such interments . It lies on the west side of the valley close to the tomb of Tausert and Setnakht ( KV14 ) and between it and that of Seti II ( KV15 ) .

KV35 – Tomb of Amenhotep II .. Part ( 19 )

KV34 – Tomb of Tuthmosis III .. Part ( 18 )

The tomb of the great conqueror is situated in a lonely and remote revine at the south-east corner of the main valley .
