Valley of the Kings

KV 9 - Tombe de Ramsès V + Ramsès VI

(c.1147–1143 BC) of the Twentieth Dynasty. Although it is uncertain whether he was ultimately buried here, it is clear that his uncle Ramesses VI (c.1143–1136 BC) enlarged the tomb and used it for his burial.

The tomb is simple in plan, essentially consisting of a series of descending corridors that lead deep underground, in a straight line to the burial chamber. The exquisitely painted sunk relief walls are very well preserved.

This tomb has multiple side chambers off the first and second corridors B and C, which are decorated with unusual scenes. Workers cutting this tomb accidentally broke through to KV 10. Room D1 is unique in royal burial sites and provides new insights into Ramesside religious beliefs. Another unique feature is that much of the damaged rear part of the tomb (rooms H to L) was decorated with rows of protective deities and demons who kept watch over the king’s burial and rebirth.
