A detailed investigation of one of the most interesting tombs in the Valley of the Kings. This was the burial place of one of Egypts most important pharaohs, Thutmose III (c1479 – 1425 BC), known today as the Napoleon of Ancient Egypt.

We will explore this fascinating tomb’s design, painted decoration and funerary texts, as well as its discovery, and the recent replication of its burial chamber by Factum Arte.
