KV48, Archaeological tomb in Valley of the Kings, Egypt.
The tomb consists of a straight corridor that extends deep into the mountain, leading to a singular burial chamber cut into the limestone rock.
Excavations of KV48 during the New Kingdom period, between 1550 and 1069 BCE, revealed its role as a burial site for Egyptian nobility.
The burial structure represents the Egyptian practice of creating rock-cut tombs for the preservation of bodies and possessions in preparation for the afterlife.
The tomb entrance lies between two other burial sites in the Valley of the Kings, requiring visitors to navigate through narrow passageways for access.
The tomb measurements reach 8.43 meters in length, making it one of the smaller burial chambers in the Valley of the Kings complex.
