Tomb of Ramses IX (KV6)

Ramses IX was the 8th Pharaoh of the 20th Dynasty (1129-1111 BC).  He was probably the grandson of Ramses III.

The sign outside the tomb will have a description and structure of the tomb

KV denotes King's Valley and the number 6 represents the order in which it was discovered

Easiest to remember because he is often depicted in white with an erect penis

We visited this tomb first because it is situated at the beginning of the valley. It was crowded. So we decided to see the tombs at the end of the valley first and work our way to avoid the busloads of morning crowd. This strategy worked as the crowd usually visit the cluster of tombs at the beginning of the valley.
