Description
The tomb is located in the south branch
of the southwest wadi, northeast of KV 34 (Thutmes III). The only
description of the tomb was given in the Baedeker guidebook, which
stated that it was small and accessible via a flight of steps. It
consists of two undecorated chambers, but it has never been fully
cleared and no accurate plan exists.
Site History
According to Elizabeth Thomas, the tomb may have been dug as a
subsidiary burial for Thutmes III. Weigall, however, proposed that
it belonged to a member of Thutmes III's royal family or the family
of the vizier Rekhmire. The tomb was never used.
