Tomb of Ramesses IV, Valley of the Kings

Like other tombs of the 20th Dynasty,the Tomb of Ramesses IV is laid out along a straight axis. The tomb has a maximum length of 88.66 m and consists of three slowly descending corridors. This is followed by an enlarged chamber, and then the burial chamber. Past the burial chamber lies a narrow corridor, flanked by three side chambers. Originally, the tomb was intended to be much larger. It was cut short at 89 m on the early death of the pharaoh (1147 BCE) and a pillared hall was converted to be the burial chamber.
