“No-one know who was actually buried there, although some people think it was the final resting place of

Amenhotep I. The whole place has an eerie, claustrophobic, slightly

sinister air to it, not helped by the deep cracks criss-crossing the walls and ceiling - you get the impression the whole place could cave in on you at any moment”

 

-- Nicholas Reeves, Egyptologist, former curator of the Department of Egyptian

Antiquities at the

BRITISH MUSEUM
