Tomb KV1, located in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, was used for the burial of Pharaoh Ramesses VII of the 20th Dynasty. Although it has been open since antiquity, it was only properly investigated and cleared by Edwin Brock in 1984 and 1985. The single corridor tomb itself is located in Luxor's West Bank, and is considered small in comparison to other tombs of the twentieth dynasty.

  • Tomb KV1, located in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, was used for the burial of Pharaoh Ramesses VII of the 20th Dynasty. Although it has been open since antiquity, it was only properly investigated and cleared by Edwin Brock in 1984 and 1985. Brock continued excavation work within the tomb, and by 1995, the tomb's walls had been completely cleaned, covering graffiti left there in ancient times, a constant problem faced by excavators of tombs within the Valley. Upon completion of his excavation work, Brock commented on the preparation for public view, stating, "Until the recent work to prepare the tomb for access by tourists, the wadi in which it is located remained relatively untouched by past archaeological exploration and the site retained much the same appearance that it probably had since antiquity." The single corridor tomb itself is located in Luxor's West Bank, and is considered small in comparison to other tombs of the twentieth dynasty.
