The tomb of Amenhotep II (KV35) is located in the Valley of the Kings, on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor, Egypt.

Here are a few key facts about it:

  • Discovered by: Victor Loret in 1898.

  • Dynasty: 18th Dynasty (Amenhotep II reigned around 1427–1401 BCE).

  • Notable features: The tomb is famous for its well-preserved sarcophagus and beautiful wall paintings depicting the king with various deities.

  • Cache of royal mummies: KV35 later served as a royal mummy cache, where several New Kingdom pharaohs were reburied for protection, including Thutmose IV, Seti II, Ramses IV, Ramses V, and Ramses VI.

Would you like me to show a map or diagram of KV35’s layout inside the Valley of the Kings?
