This ia a joint tomb of Tausert and Setnakht. Tausert began to build this tomb when she was the queen of Seti II. When she became a Pharaoh, this tomb was enlarged in keeping with her status. She was buried here when she died.
One of the many stories of how Setnakht came to be buried here is this. Setnakht built his own tomb (KV11) but when he died, his son Ramses III decided to keep the tomb for himself. He then extended this tomb and buried Setnakht together with Tausert. No one knows what actually happened. Only Pharaoh knows.
This tomb consists of two burial chambers
Tausert with Horus, Anubis and Thoth
Tausert, Osiris and the four sons of Horus
Was it unfinished or left on purpose?
Burial chamber of Tausert
The corridor leading to the burial chamber of Setnakht seems unfinished
Perhaps the colour has faded
They are farming; are not sweeping the floor.

Sarcophagus of Setnakht in the second chamber
His mummy was also found in tomb KV35
