This chamber exhibits another architectural innovation: its long axis is roughly parallel to the axis of the upper corridors, and the axis of the stepped descent and the lower chambers are parallel and offset to the west. The excavators noted the presence of blocking in the descent that had been broken through in antiquity. There are two pillars in the chamber. There is a round hole in the left (west) wall above the descent.

Burial chamber J

See entire tomb

The burial chamber is divided into two parts: a pillared section which is level with gate J and a lower section reached by two stairways, one between the last set of pillars and on the other to the left (west) of them. The pillared section consists of three pairs of pillars, some of which have undergone restoration. A gently sloping ramp begins its descent between the first set of pillars and leads to the stairway which lies between the last set. The second stairway was cut in the floor to the west of the first set of stairs, but it was filled in during the restoration process. The pillars were also restored and partially reconstructed at this time. The lower level has a flat ceiling. There is a large red granite sarcophagus placed off-center on the floor. Chamber J has gates to five side chambers, two in the rear (west) wall, one in the right (north) wall, and two in the left wall.

The decoration is of particular interest here not only for the innovative subject matter, but its unfinished nature shows the different stages in the work of the artists. As in well chamber E and chamber I, the intended decorative technique was to have been raised relief. The relief carving was left unfinished, however, and the only painted decoration was on the uncarved plaster surface in the southwest corner. Preliminary sketches on the right, left, and rear walls preserve excellent examples of the first stage of the decorative process.

About

About

KV 57 is located in the west branch of the southwest Wadi. The tomb's opening, just above the Valley's ancient floor, is low in the south side of a hill that projects eastward into the central wadi from the cliff face where KV 35 (Amenhetep II) is cut. Three sloping corridors (B, C, D) lead to a well chamber (E) and a pillared chamber (F). A side descent and two sloping corridors (G and H) lead to chamber I giving access to the burial chamber J. This has side chambers (Ja-Je), also with side chambers (Jaa, Jbb, Jcc, Jccc). The tomb represents a transition in tomb architecture from the bent axis plan, characteristic of Dynasty 18, to the straight axis royal tombs of Dynasties 19 and 20. The decoration is composed of representations of deities (well chamber E, chamber I, gate J, side chamber Jb), Horemheb with deities (well chamber E, chamber I), and scenes from the Book of Gates (burial chamber J).

Noteworthy features:

This tomb descends with the steepness of earlier tombs in the Valley of the Kings, but several unique features were added. A Ramp descending to a set of stairs was cut between the pillars of the burial chamber J; a second set of stairs was cut beside the first. Both lead to a crypt on a lower level. Also, a lower side chamber (Jaa) was cut beneath side chamber Ja. The decoration in the burial chamber and other parts of the tomb was left in various stages of work, allowing scholars to study the processes involved in preparing painted relief. KV 57 is the first tomb to show the Book of Gates.

Site History

No remains of Horemheb were found, but evidence exists that the tomb was at one time sealed, at least from gate F onwards. The broken lid of the Sarcophagus found lying on the floor, as well as the shattered condition of the Canopic chest and other burial furnishings, suggest that the burial was robbed. Several Hieratic inspection dockets from Dynasty 21 may record temporary caching of burials here before they subsequently were removed, perhaps to KV 35.

Conservation History

In 1934, the Service des Antiquités carried out some restoration work in chamber I. Following the closure of the tomb after the 1994 flooding, conservation work has been carried out (particularly in chambers E, I, and J) and walkways and lighting were installed.

Site Condition

Significant portions of the painted decoration and blue background have flaked off the walls in well chamber E and chamber I. When discovered, much damage had already happened to the pillars and ceiling of the burial chamber. The blocking of the doorway in the north (rear) wall of well chamber E had been broken through in antiquity, resulting in damage to some of the painted scene that covered it. Damage to the decoration around gates I and J also occurred. This damage has since been repaired. Flooding in the Valley in October and November 1994 caused water to enter the tomb and although much was caught in the shaft of well chamber E, some water seeped across the bridge over the shaft and entered the lower chambers.
