Daily Photo - KV35, tomb of Amenhotep II
KV35 is the tomb of Amenhotep II Aakheperure in the Valley of the Kings. Amenhotep II was the seventh ruler of the eighteenth dynasty. His tomb is remarkable for containing a complete version of the Amduat funerary text painted on the walls. The body of the pharaoh was found in its sarcophagus, and the tomb was also found to contain the bodies of eight other pharaohs, three women and a male child. These secondary additions were placed there in the 21st Dynasty to protect them from tomb robbers. It has been suggested in the past that one of the females may be Queen Tiy, but this remains unconfirmed.
