KV30, Ancient tomb in Valley of the Kings, Egypt

KV30 features a vertical shaft extending seven meters deep, leading to a main chamber surrounded by four smaller connecting rooms.

Giovanni Battista Belzoni discovered this tomb in 1817 while working on a commission from the Second Earl Belmore during his Egyptian expedition.

The tomb contained remains of five mummified individuals between ages 18 and 30, along with fragments of painted wooden coffins and funerary items.

The excavation site measures 42 meters in length and includes multiple chambers carved from limestone bedrock in the Valley of the Kings.

Red ink construction marks and a graffito containing elements of the name Menkheperre remain visible on the tomb walls from ancient times.
