KV3, Ancient royal tomb in Valley of the Kings, Egypt
The KV3 tomb features two initial corridors with chambers, followed by a four-pillared room and three additional chambers along the main axis.
Archaeologist Harry Burton conducted the first proper excavation of KV3 in 1912, revealing architectural elements and decorative features within the tomb structure.
The tomb walls display decorations of Ramesses III walking with an unnamed prince, accompanied by various Egyptian deities along corridor B.
The entrance to KV3 sits near the main path at the Valley of the Kings entrance, making it accessible for visitors exploring ancient Egyptian burial sites.
Archaeological evidence indicates that during the Byzantine period, this unfinished royal tomb transformed into a Christian chapel for religious ceremonies.
