Tomb of Seti I (KV17)

We paid EGP1000 each for the ticket to enter this tomb. Rest assured it was totally worth it. This is the most beautiful tomb in the Valley of the Kings. Seti I was a Pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty during the New Kingdom. He was the son of Ramses I and father of Ramses II.


It is one of the deepest tombs here



Steps down to the tomb 





Then a long sloping corridor



Scarab and Anubis



The tomb was empty







Isis spreading her wings



Texts from the Book of Am Duat



A winged three headed four legged snake





Horus presenting Seti I to Osiris



The first chamber is decorated with texts from the Book of Gates











Isis welcoming Seti I 



Some parts of the tomb are unfinished 



More steps inside the tomb





Corridor leading to the burial chamber



The burial chamber is decorated with texts from the Book of Am Duat and has a astronomical ceiling
