KV46, Ancient Egyptian tomb in Valley of the Kings, Egypt.
The tomb numbered KV46 contains a rectangular burial chamber accessed through corridors and features limestone walls spanning 21.31 meters in total length.
Archaeologist James E. Quibell discovered the tomb on February 5, 1905, under the financial support of Theodore M. Davis, revealing the burial site of Yuya and Tjuyu.
The tomb belonged to Yuya and Tjuyu, parents of Queen Tiye who married Pharaoh Amenhotep III, demonstrating their connection to Egyptian royal lineage.
The burial chamber preserves numerous artifacts including gilded coffin sets, canopic chests, storage jars, beds, chairs, and a chariot from ancient Egypt.
Prior to Tutankhamun's tomb discovery in 1922, KV46 represented the most complete and preserved burial site found in the Valley of the Kings.
