This tomb is only second to the Tomb of Seti I. An additional ticket of EGP100 is required and is included in our Luxor Pass. Ramses V built this tomb and may have been buried in it for a while. Ramses VI removed Ramses V and refurnished the tomb for his own use.
The walls are covered with collections of all spells to effect the Pharaoh's resurrection. Texts from the Litany of Re, the Book of Cavern, the Book of the Day, the Book of the Night, the Book of the Divine Cow, Am Duat and the Book of the Dead were included. It has a complete rendition of the Book of the Gates.
