KV26, Ancient tomb in Valley of the Kings, Egypt
The limestone structure extends 12 meters into the mountain through a shaft entrance leading to a corridor and single chamber.
First documented in 1825 by James Burton, the tomb remained unexplored until excavations by the University of Basel's Kings' Valley Project in 2009.
The construction style and discovered artifacts, including black coffin fragments and pottery jars, indicate burial practices from the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt.
The tomb contains a six-meter vertical shaft entrance and maintains its structural integrity despite past flooding events in the valley.
Archaeologists discovered sixteen large pottery vessels dating to the reigns of Thutmose III and Amenhotep II without any identifying inscriptions.
