Let’s get inside the deepest and the longest tomb in the Valley of the Kings! Although filming there is allowed only with a special permission, I managed to take my camera inside and now can show you not only the main section of the tomb, but also parts normally closed for the visitors.
Seti I, the second pharaoh of the 19th dynasty, also known as Seti the Great designed for himself one of the most spectacular burial structures ever made, known today as KV17. It is the first tomb with a complete set of religious texts including the Litany of Ra, the Book of the Dead, the Imydwat, Opening the mouth ritual, the Book of Gates, the Book of the Heavenly Cow, and astronomical scenes. Seti’s tomb is also the most completely decorated with exceptional, painted raised reliefs and a wonderful burial chamber known as “the House of Gold”.
Discovered by Belzoni, later restored and examined by Howard Carter, the tomb had been initially found intact, according to Giovanni Battista Belzoni upon opening the tomb, ancient paint brushes were still lying under the reliefs! Unfortunately, the 19th century was a little bit like the Wild West archeological-wise so the tomb didn’t avoid damages.
Aaand did you know about the mysterious tunnel recently excavated by Doctor Zahi Hawass?
