Tomb KV2, found in the Valley of the Kings, is the tomb of Ramesses IV, and is located low down in the main valley, between KV7 and KV1. It has been open since antiquity and contains a large amount of hieratic graffiti.

The tomb is mostly intact and is decorated with scenes from the "Litany of Ra", "Book of Caverns", "Book of the Dead", "Book of Amduat" and the "Book of the Heavens".

The sarcophagus is broken (probably in antiquity), and the mummy was relocated to the mummy cache in KV35.
