This tomb is one of the greatest achievements of Egyptian art and the most beautiful in the Valley of the Kings. It was closed to visitors for a long time, but is open again and can be visited for an additional fee. The tomb was fully decorated and was beautifully preserved as Giovanni Belzoni discovered it in 1817. The paint on the walls still looked fresh, and some of the old artists’ paints and brushes were still on the floor in the grave. Of course, the precious metals and stones found were quickly put in his pocket, but many other things, such as wooden furniture and other objects that he did not notice, remained in the grave. Since the wood was corroded and the other items were probably not getting a good price, Belzoni was of little interest to them.Īlthough the tomb has suffered since its discovery, it still offers a breathtaking art experience and is one of the most beautiful tombs in Egypt.
