It has been open since antiquity and contains a large amount of [[hieratic]] graffiti. The tomb is mostly intact and is decorated with scenes from the ''[[Litany of Re|Litany of Ra]]'', ''[[Book of Caverns]]'', ''[[Book of the Dead]]'', ''[[Amduat|Book of Amduat]]'' and the ''[[Book of the Heavens]]''. The [[sarcophagus]] is broken (probably in antiquity), and the [[mummy]] was relocated to the mummy cache in [[KV35]]. ==References== *Reeves, N & Wilkinson, R.H. <cite>The Complete Valley of the Kings</cite>, 1996, Thames and Hudson, London *Siliotti, A. <cite>Guide to the Valley of the Kings and to the Theban Necropolises and Temples</cite>, 1996, A.A.
