KV47, Ancient Egyptian tomb in Valley of the Kings, Egypt.

The tomb extends 124 meters into the limestone cliffs, featuring corridors and chambers decorated with hieroglyphic inscriptions and painted religious scenes.

Dating from the New Kingdom period between 1550-1069 BCE, this burial structure represents the evolving methods of royal interment in ancient Egyptian society.

The walls display texts from the Book of the Dead, illustrating ancient Egyptian beliefs about journeys through the afterlife and divine protection.

The tomb entrance lies on the western path of the Valley of the Kings, requiring a separate ticket for access during regular visiting hours.

Multiple flooding episodes throughout history have left distinct mineral deposits on the tomb walls, creating natural patterns alongside the original decorations.
