KV7, Royal tomb in Valley of the Kings, Egypt

The tomb structure extends 168 meters into the limestone rock, featuring multiple chambers and corridors decorated with religious texts and imagery.

Constructed during the 19th dynasty for Pharaoh Ramses II, the tomb suffered extensive damage from natural elements and repeated occupations through centuries.

The decorative elements within the chambers include passages from the Book of Gates, Amduat, and the Litany of Ra, reflecting Egyptian beliefs.

Entry to the tomb requires a Valley of the Kings ticket, with morning visits recommended due to lower temperatures and reduced visitor numbers.

The mummy of Ramses II was relocated to tomb DB320 during the 21st dynasty, leaving only two wooden ushabti figures in the original burial chamber.
