KV35

KV35 is a tomb located in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. It was discovered by Victor Loret in 1898. The tomb is notable for several reasons, including the fact that it was found largely intact, although it had suffered from ancient robberies.

The entrance to KV35 is a stairway leading down to a passage. This passage then descends to a burial chamber. The chamber itself is divided into several sections. The main burial chamber is quite large, with pillars supporting the ceiling.

KV35 is most famous for containing the mummy of Pharaoh Amenhotep II. However, it also held other significant finds. In a side chamber, a cache of royal mummies was discovered, including those of Thutmose IV, Amenhotep III, and potentially others. The tomb also contained a variety of funerary goods, though many were disturbed or removed by ancient tomb robbers.

The state of preservation within KV35, despite evidence of looting, has provided invaluable information about New Kingdom burial practices and the royal families of the 18th Dynasty. The tomb's layout and contents have been extensively studied by Egyptologists.
