The tomb of King Ramses IΧ is the simplest in comparison to the others we visited in the Valley, (Ramses IV & Ramses III), but equally interesting regarding the frescoes. The 105-meter-long corridor ends up in the burial chamber, whose entrance is closed by a low wooden fence. The chamber is empty (the Pharaoh’s sarcophagus has been never found), but the impressive frescoes of goddess Nut on the ceiling and the others from scenes of the Holy Books on the walls are well preserved.

The corridor and its ceiling are also decorated with hieroglyphics, with scenes from the Book of the Dead, the Book of the Gates and other holy Books and from various ceremonies and rituals.
