Tomb of Amun-her-khepeshef, Valley of the Queens
The tomb belongs to Amun-her-khepeshef, the eldest son and appointed heir of Pharaoh Ramesses III (he was named after a son of Ramesses II) and son of the Great Royal Wife, Tyti. Amun-her-khepeshef died when he was about fifteen years old. The tomb is very well preserved, and was excavated by Italian archaeologists in 1903–1904. The tomb has a simple plan, consisting of a short flight of steps leading to a descending entrance ramp followed by an antechamber or entrance hall, which has an annex to the northwest. It is followed by the sarcophagus chamber.
