Valley of the Kings - KV15
tomb of Seti II - XIXth Dynasty
| The 
		complete history of the tomb's construction and employment is still 
		uncertain. The body of the king may originally have been interred in the 
		tomb of his wife, Taweseret and only afterwards transferred to KV15, 
		which was hastily and incompletely finished. Only fragments of the lid 
		of Seti II's sarcophagus remain in the tomb; the coffer is untraced, but 
		was perhaps removed for reuse at the end of the New Kingdom.
        Later inspection of KV15 by those charged with 
		dismantling the burials and stripping the bodies, evidently led to the 
		removal of the king's mummy - which 
		was found in the KV35 cache in a replacement 
		coffin of later date.  | |
