KV58, Archaeological tomb in Valley of the Kings, Egypt.

KV58, a seven-meter-long underground chamber with a shaft entrance, contains a single burial room discovered in the Luxor necropolis complex.

Harold Jones uncovered this tomb in January 1909 while conducting excavations for Theodore Davis, initially finding gold foil fragments and artifacts.

The tomb held decorated gold foil pieces depicting Egyptian pharaohs in battle scenes, along with furniture components and a solitary ushabti figurine.

The burial chamber lies twenty feet below ground level between tombs KV57 and KV56, with coordinates at latitude 25.7401015 and longitude 32.6009993.

Evidence suggests KV58 functioned as a satellite tomb, containing objects potentially transferred from the Eighteenth Dynasty tomb of Pharaoh Ay.
