KV60, Ancient Egyptian tomb in Valley of the Kings, Egypt

The tomb structure contains three corridors that lead to a ritual shaft and continues through to a rectangular burial chamber with side niches.

Howard Carter discovered this tomb in 1903, and Donald P. Ryan conducted additional excavations in 1989, revealing new archaeological findings.

The tomb features decorative elements from multiple religious texts, including the Litany of Ra and Book of Gates, representing Egyptian afterlife beliefs.

Visitors can access the tomb through guided Valley of the Kings tours, which include transportation from nearby cities and expert explanations.

Research suggests a connection between this tomb and Hatshepsut, as studies of a female mummy found inside indicate possible royal origins.
