KV6, Ancient tomb in Valley of the Kings, Egypt.
The rock-cut tomb KV6 extends 105 meters into limestone cliffs, featuring decorated corridors and multiple chambers connected through sloping passages.
The tomb construction began during the reign of Ramesses III, with workers carving intricate hieroglyphic inscriptions and relief decorations on the walls.
Ancient Egyptian artisans painted detailed scenes from religious texts, including the Book of Gates and Book of the Dead, throughout the tomb chambers.
The tomb entrance lies on the main path through the Valley of the Kings, making it readily accessible to visitors exploring the archaeological site.
The tomb contains over 120 ancient builder marks and graffiti from different periods, documenting activities of both construction workers and early explorers.
