'''Tomb KV2''', found in the [[Valley of the Kings]], is the tomb of [[Ramesses IV]], and is located low down in the main valley, between [[KV7]] and [[KV1]]. 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]].
