Ceiling of the Burial Chamber, Tomb of Ramesses V and Ramesses VI, Valley of the Kings
The burial chamber is decorated with a superb double image of Nut framing the Book of the Day and Book of the Night on the ceiling. This nocturnal landscape in black and gold shows the sky goddess swallowing the sun each evening to give birth to it each morning in an endless cycle of new life designed to revive the souls of the dead pharaohs.
