Tomb of Ramses I (KV16)

Ramses I came from a family of soldiers. He was  chosen by Horemheb (who did not have any successor) to succeed him and thus founded the 19th Dynasty. I think this is the smallest tomb in the valley. Only the burial chamber is decorated.




Steep steps leading to the tomb



Followed by a sloping corridor 







Then more steep steps into the chamber





Sarcophagus of Ramses I
His mummy is (probably) in Luxor Museum











Ramses I dancing with Horus and Anubis?
