Summary

Description
English: Most of the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings are colorfully decorated. Pharaoh Thutmose III (1479-1425 BCE) chose to have his royal tomb KV34 decorated in a singularly stark style. The tomb is cut high in the cliff walls and is today reached by a long metal staircase. The burial chamber of KV34 is oval-shaped, like the royal cartouche used to enclose the king’s name. The artists painted the walls with an off-white background that imitates the appearance of papyrus and the text and figures on the wall are written in a cursive form of hieroglyphs normally reserved for papyrus. The tomb reliefs are painted and written in ink color but NOT carved which means it is 2D Art and not 3D Art.
