New Kingdom, Dynasty 19, Sety II
Sety II was the first pharaoh in 250 years to be buried in the southwestern branch of the Valley of the Kings. Neither the cutting of his tomb nor its decoration was completed at the time of his death, so the unfinished lower corridor was made over as a burial chamber.
The fine quality of raised relief at the beginning of the first corridor was replaced by sunken relief further back, and this perhaps corresponded to its usurpation by Amenmeses. An unusual depiction of sacred statues, similar to some actual statues found in Tutankhamen's tomb, was painted on the chamber walls. Only the broken lid of the granite sarcophagus remains of the king's original burial equipment.
