Description

Originally constructed for Ramses V, the tomb was expanded by Ramses VI to include more elaborate decorations and deeper corridors. This collaboration makes KV9 unique, as it reflects the contributions of two pharaohs.

The corridors tomb of this tomb are designed with a noticeable slope, reinforcing the symbolic descent into the realm of the dead. This architectural feature also creates an immersive journey for visitors, drawing them closer to the sacred burial chamber.

Carvings and reliefs along the corridors focus heavily on protection. They depict serpents, magical creatures, and guardian gods that ensure the pharaoh's safety in the dangerous passages of the afterlife.
