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 .

Museum ( see No. 3000, U 48, east, there, the front of the king's
battle-chariot ) .
