Valley of the Kings - KV43
tomb of Tuthmosis IV - XVIIIth Dynasty
The
tomb KV43 was discovered 18 January 1903, by
Howard Carter. The carefully cut entrance stair and first three
corridors push in a straight line to a large well with an offset chamber
cut at the base of its wall. The axis then turns 90 degrees into the
first pillared hall from which a staircase, sloping corridor and another
staircase lead to the anteroom and burial chamber. In the tomb H.Carter
was found some small objects, fragments of funerary equipment. The
mummy of Tuthmosis IV was cached within a side chamber of the
tomb KV35. |
