Tomb KV18

Tomb KV18

Tomb KV18, located in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, was intended for the burial of Pharaoh Ramesses X of the Twentieth Dynasty; however, because it was abandoned while still incomplete and since no funerary equipment was ever found there, it is uncertain whether it was used for his burial.

Interiors of Tomb KV18

The tomb consists of an entryway and two sections of corridor separated by gates. Howard Carter used the entryway in the early 20th century as the site of the Valley’s first electricity generator and had some of the corridor walls whitewashed. After penetrating the hillside for some 43 metres, it ends at the rock face into which a series of rough steps have been carved.

Very little is known about this tomb KV18, and the final section of the corridor was cleared adequately of the voluminous flood débris filling it only recently.
