New Kingdom, Dynasty 19, Siptah
When the cutting for the intended burial chamber of Siptah's tomb, Tomb 47 began, workmen accidentally broke into Tomb 32. The burial chamber was quarried farther to the south, but remained unfinished. Although much of the painted decoration has been lost, what remains in the first two corridors indicates the high quality of the original decoration.
Siptah was the seventh ruler of Dynasty 19, a son of Sety II and a secondary queen, Tia'a. Siptah became ruler after the official heir, Sety-Merenptah, predeceased his father. Because of Siptah's young age, his step-mother Tausert became regent of the country. Siptah died during his sixth reignal year. He was buried, probably with his mother Tia'a, in the unfinished Tomb 47. In 1898, his mummy was found in Tomb 35, that was reused as a cache.
