KV35

Tomb KV35 is the burial place of Amenhotep II, a pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt, in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt.

The burial chamber is rectangular and divided into upper and lower pillared sections, with the lower part holding the cartouche-shaped royal sarcophagus of the king.

[2] Only the burial chamber of the tomb is decorated, albeit in an unusual style that, other than KV34 (the tomb of Amenhotep II's father, Thutmose III), is not found elsewhere in the Valley of the Kings.

On a yellow-tinged background (intended to resemble aged papyrus), the Amduat is traced, depicting the ancient Egyptian deities as simple (almost naive) stick figures,[3] with text written in the cursive hieroglyphic book hand used more commonly for sacred texts on papyrus.

Mummies belonging to the following individuals were relocated here during the Third Intermediate Period and were identified by inscriptions on their burial wrappings:[4][5] Side Chamber: Most of the mummies discovered in KV35, including all mummies identified as monarchs or consorts, are on display at the Royal Mummies Gallery of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo, having been moved there in 2021 during the Pharaohs' Golden Parade.
