KV43, Royal tomb in Valley of the Kings, Egypt

The burial site stretches 105 meters into the limestone cliff, featuring multiple chambers connected by sloping corridors and decorated walls.

Howard Carter discovered this tomb in 1903 while working for Theodore Davis, finding foundation deposits and alabaster vessels at the entrance.

The red stone sarcophagus within the burial chamber displays inscribed texts and figures depicting Thutmose IV alongside Egyptian deities.

Visitors can access the tomb through organized tours departing from Luxor, which include transportation and expert guidance through the archaeological site.

The tomb contains ancient graffiti from officials during Horemheb's reign, documenting restoration work and burial renewal commands for King Menkheperure.
