This is the entrance to the burial chamber of Prince Khaemwaset.

The notice board by the entrance tells you that Prince Kha.Em Wast (who we spell as Khaemwaset) was a son of Ramses III and that this is considered to be one of the most beautiful tombs with its coloured bas reliefs which are in a good state of preservation. Please click on the notice board to see it close up.

Discovered in the Valley of the Queens in February 1903 and catalogued as QV44 (as this was the forty forth tomb to be found in the Valley of the Queens). The tomb had been reused many times as archaeologists found sarcophagi piled up in the corridor.

Once through the entrance you head down a slope into the vestibule off of which is a small annex to the right (known as the Western Lateral Annex) then slightly further along is another to the left (known as the Eastern Lateral Annex). Heading further along the vestibule you move into the burial chamber itself and on to the rear annex. A diagram of the tomb is shown on the notice board.
