KV4, Ancient tomb in Valley of the Kings, Egypt.

The burial chamber of KV4 contains rectangular pillars and features a vaulted ceiling with a deep shaft cut into the central floor area.

Initiated during the reign of Ramesses XI in the 11th century BCE, KV4 marks the final royal tomb constructed in the Valley of the Kings.

Multiple inscriptions in Demotic Egyptian, Greek, Latin, Coptic, French, and English demonstrate the continuous visits throughout different historical periods.

The tomb consists of three sloping corridors leading to a well chamber, followed by two unfinished pillared chambers with limited decorative elements.

During the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb, Howard Carter repurposed KV4 as both a dining area and storage space for archaeological materials.
