Ramesses IV Monuments:
Almost Monuments of Ramesses IV in KV2 Tomb (Ther Valley of the Kings): there's a lot of the appeal of King Ramesses VI, and lower crowded. Besides pollyannaish colors, just poor carving, abundant Greek and Coptic graffito and ping granite sarcophagus
Big tomb, but very bare. Hived up the mummy in the grave of Amenophis II. The archetype plans, absorbed on papyrus papers, are in the Museum of Turin.
Dissimilar from almost royal tombs, as Ramesses IV carried the throne chair afterward his father’s assassination, in a period time economic decay.
- Was acknowledged early one, and applied as a kind of “hotel” by betimes explorers. It was besides a Coptic Christian abode and was visited often in antiquity. Heaps of Greek and Coptic graffito
- 2 sketched contrives of the toms are acknowledged, the most accomplished and famous are in the Turin papyri.
- Very fiddling slope from the first depart of the tomb to the rear. Becharm has split stairses on either face of a ramp, affording to a first, 2nd, and 3rd corridors. The concluding corridor directs to a small antechamber and so to the burial chamber. There are some belittled annexes off the burial chamber, but additional than that, no sidelong annexes in the grave. The corridors are vast – some 10ft astray and 15 feet high, much bigger than normal.
- The frontage has the kings enthronement scenes and the corridors bear the Litany of Re. The cap is vultures, falcons, and flew scarabs.
- 3rd corridor has scenes of the Book of Caverns with stars on the ceiling, which later gets domed.
- The belittled burial chamber is closely filled up with the sarcophagus – it is outstandingly large. The chamber is adorned with the 2nd, 3rd, and fourth hours of the Book fo Gates. The ceiling is adorned with two big paintings of Nut besides the constellations, and aspects from the book of the dark.
- No mainstays in the tomb. No aspects from the Amduat.
- Fiddling funerary gear found, although the sarcophagus was barged in and left ajar. Nine foundation alluviations
