Tomb KV39 in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings is one of the possible locations of the tomb of Pharaoh Amenhotep I. It is located in a small wadi from the east side of Al-Qurn, directly under the ridge where the workers’ village lies. It is high in the cliffs, away from the central valley bottom and other royal burials.
The location is unusual, and the tomb’s layout is unique. It has two axes, one east and one south. Tomb KV39 was discovered by Macarious and Andraos, who worked for Victor Loret but was not thoroughly examined. When John Rose excavated and re-examined in the 1990s, dockets for Thutmose I, Amenhotep I, and possibly Thutmose II were found. The site was further examined in 2002 by Ian Buckley; his team corrected the rough plan and recovered pottery shards for later examination.
