Tomb of Thutmoses III


This grave (# 34) separated in a ravine and a long, narrow stairway from the entrance. People are constantly going up and down, so be prepared for a rapid ascent. Once on the stairs steep, has dropped in the grave.
This is one of the oldest tombs in the valley.
Walls adorned with 741 wooden figures of the god of Egypt - instead of the fully carved figures, writings (and probably occurred is the best word) deiites tradition method is used on papyrus. It is very stylized. Parts of the book from Duat line the walls here - more than graves containing one or more of the books in Egypt. To register a group of pictures of the mummy is supposed to represent forms of irrigation (seventy-four of them) - the figures also indicate the mummy of Osiris, the dead.
The burial chamber is in the form of cartridge, with brightly colored decorations on the ceiling level and a number of stick figures on the walls on a yellow background. Ceiling painted dark blue with the stars, to simulate the night sky. Decor, it would appear as if they roll a long time, and papyrus unrolled - even amounted to a pale yellow color offsets.
Insiede granite sarcophagus is carved from the death to the creation of the universe. Has been detected and she is not here, of course, in one of the roayl caches and now in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Grave robbers who left made of red granite in place, but most Egyptologists believe that this tomb was surrounded by the same types of sanctuaries that have been found in King Tut's tomb - surely there is enough space!
