WV22, Royal tomb from the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt
The KV22 tomb extends 126 meters into the limestone cliffs, featuring multiple chambers connected by corridors and decorated passages throughout its length.
Pharaoh Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty commissioned this burial site during his reign between 1391 and 1353 BCE as his eternal resting place.
The tomb walls display numerous hieroglyphic inscriptions and paintings depicting scenes from the Book of the Dead and Egyptian deities guiding the pharaoh.
Visitors can access the tomb through organized tours, with current preservation measures limiting the daily number of entries to protect the ancient structure.
Recent archaeological studies revealed that builders adjusted the tomb's construction plans multiple times during its creation, resulting in an asymmetrical layout.
