KV57, Ancient royal tomb in Valley of the Kings, Egypt.
The KV57 tomb extends 127 meters into the limestone cliffs, featuring decorated corridors and chambers with inscriptions from the New Kingdom period.
Constructed during the 16th century BC, KV57 served as the final resting place for Pharaoh Horemheb, the last ruler of Egypt's Eighteenth Dynasty.
The tomb walls display numerous Egyptian religious scenes, including texts from the Book of Gates and images of deities guiding the pharaoh through the afterlife.
Visitors need to purchase separate entry tickets for the Valley of the Kings and specific tombs, with access limited to specific morning and afternoon time slots.
The architecture incorporates a jogged axis design, changing corridor directions multiple times throughout the underground complex to protect against tomb raiders.
