KV42, Ancient tomb in Valley of the Kings, Egypt
Tomb KV42 features a descending corridor with multiple chambers leading to a central burial chamber designed for storing funeral artifacts.
The tomb was constructed during the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt and demonstrates architectural patterns common to royal burial structures.
The walls display hieroglyphic texts and artistic depictions that represent the Egyptian beliefs about the journey through the afterlife.
The tomb entrance lies on the eastern side of the Valley of the Kings and requires special permits for research access.
The tomb structure extends 58 meters into the limestone rock, incorporating shafts designed to prevent access by potential raiders.
