What is kv 35?

KV35 is a tomb located in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. It was discovered in 1898 by Victor Loret, but it was already considered to have been robbed in ancient times. The tomb was later re-discovered to house the remains of several New Kingdom pharaohs and their relatives during the 20th century.

The tomb consists of two main chambers, known as the 'pillared hall' and the 'burial chamber.' The pillared hall contains four pillars with intricate carvings, while the burial chamber has a sunken pit in the floor where the sarcophagi were placed.

The pharaohs and their relatives buried in KV35 include Amenhotep II, Thutmose IV, and Queen Tiye, who was the mother of Akhenaten and grandmother of Tutankhamun. In addition to their remains, the tomb also contained various funerary items such as shabtis, canopic jars, and jewelry.

KV35 was damaged by flooding in the early 20th century, but was later restored in the 1990s. Today, it is open to tourists as part of the wider Valley of the Kings complex.
