KV39
Tomb KV39 in Egypt's Valley of the Kings is one of the possible locations of the tomb of Pharaoh Amenhotep I. It is located high in the cliffs, away from the main valley bottom and other royal burials. It is located in a small wadi that runs from the east side of Al-Qurn, directly under the ridge where the workmen's village lies. Not only is the location unusual, the layout of the tomb is unique as well. It has two axes, one east and one south. It was discovered by Macarious and Andraos, who were working for Victor Loret, but not fully examined. When excavated and re-examined in the 1990s by John Rose, dockets for Thutmose I, Amenhotep I, and possibly Thutmose II were found. The site was further examined in 2002 by Ian Buckley; his team corrected the rough plan and recovered pottery shards for later examination.Buckley, Buckley & Cook Fieldwork in Theban Tomb KV39: The 2002 Season ''Journal of Egyptian Archaeology'', 2006 See also Another possible location of the tomb of Amenh ...

His reign is generally dated from 1526 to 1506 BC. He was a son of Ahmose I and Ahmose-Nefertari, but had at least two elder brothers, Ahmose-ankh and Ahmose Sapair, and was not expected to inherit the throne. However, sometime in the eight years between Ahmose I's 17th regnal year and his death, his heir apparent died and Amenhotep became crown prince. He then acceded to the throne and ruled for about 21 years.Manetho - translated by W.G. Waddell, Loeb Classical Library, 1940, p.109 Although his reign is poorly documented, it is possible to piece together a basic history from available evidence. He inherited the kingdom formed ...

List Of Burials In The Valley Of The Kings
The following is a list of burials in the Valley of the Kings, in Thebes (modern Luxor, Egypt) and nearby areas. The numbering system was established by John Gardner Wilkinson in 1821. Wilkinson numbered the 21 tombs known to him (some of which had been open since antiquity) according to their location, starting at the entrance to the valley and then moving south and east. Tombs that have been discovered since then have been allocated a sequential KV number (those in the Western Valley are known by the WV equivalent) in the order of their discovery. Since the mid 20th century, Egyptologists have used the acronym "KV" (standing for Kings' Valley) to designate tombs located in the Valley of the Kings. East Valley Most of the open tombs in the Valley of the Kings are located in the East Valley, and this is where most tourists can be found. West Valley The numbering the West Valley follows in sequence to that of the East Valley, and there are only four known burials/pits in ...
