Pharaoh Thutmose IV in theValley of the Kings inLuxor ,Egypt . It has a dog-leg shape, typical of the layout of early 18th Dynasty tombs. KV43 was rediscovered in1903 byHoward Carter (forTheodore M. Davis , who published an account of the discovery and excavation in1904 ).Located high in the cliffs above the valley floor, it had been spared the extensive flood-water damage suffered by other tombs, and its wall decorations are consequently very well preserved. The pharaoh's outer stone
sarcophagus is also still in place in the burial chamber.References
