About KV65

KV65 is a numbered tomb in the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor, Egypt. It is one of many catalogued sites within the Theban burial complex.

The feature is an archaeological tomb with rock-cut chambers typical of the area; its value lies in excavation records and material studied by Egyptologists rather than large-scale visitor facilities. Condition and accessibility vary by tomb.

Tombs in this necropolis were carved during the New Kingdom period (about 16th to 11th centuries BCE) for burial purposes; they experienced looting in antiquity and systematic documentation from the 19th century onward.

Located within the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank of Luxor, the tomb is part of the Theban Necropolis several kilometers west of modern Luxor city.

  • Research focus: Many numbered tombs in the Valley of the Kings are small or incomplete and are important chiefly for research rather than as public attractions.
