Tomb 6

New Kingdom, Dynasty 20, Rameses IX

 

The tomb of Rameses IX lies in the center of the Valley of the Kings. Its entrance, the widest of any royal tomb was cut into a steep hillside, a few meters away from Tomb 5 and Tomb 55. The tomb was left unfinished, but its decoration is attractive and in a few instances, enigmatic. It's a very accessible tomb and has become perhaps the most visited tomb in the Valley of the Kings.
