KV9, Ancient royal tomb in Valley of the Kings, Egypt
The tomb stretches 116 meters underground through corridors decorated with intricate hieroglyphic inscriptions depicting celestial maps and religious texts.
Construction began during Ramses V reign around 1147 BCE, but Ramses VI later expanded it and made it his final resting place until 1136 BCE.
The walls display astronomical ceiling decorations and religious texts including the Book of Gates, Book of Caverns, and Book of the Dead.
The tomb requires separate admission tickets from the Valley of the Kings entrance fee and maintains different operating hours throughout the year.
Ancient Greek and Roman visitors left graffiti on the tomb walls, demonstrating its status as an early tourist destination over 2000 years ago.
