In the Enchanted Valley of Kings, the Forgotten Resting Place of Queen Tiaa

Nestled in the heart of the mystical Valley of the Kings, a realm veiled in ancient enchantments, lies KV32, the undecorated tomb of Queen Tiaa. Eternally at peace in its dark embrace, Queen Tiaa, wife of Amenhotep II and mother of Thutmose IV, found her final rest here [2]. Discovered in the year of 1898 by the diligent eyes of Victor Loret, it is said that KV32 stretches 40 meters back into the very mountainside itself [2]. The burial chamber, a tranquil sanctuary measuring 6.24 meters by 8.56 meters by 4.01 meters, lies hidden at the end of this tomb [2].

It is believed a band of workmen, long forgotten, penetrated KV32 whilst labouring upon the original burial chamber within Siptah's tomb, KV47 [2]. Throughout the years, KV32 has been carefully excavated, cleared and published by the dedicated scholars from the University of Basel's MISR Project [2]. Amongst the treasures found within Tia'a's tomb, there were hundreds of fragments of a canopic chest, shimmering fragments of lids adorned with the visage of a human head, intended to protect the entrance to the sacred tomb, shabtis, minute shabti coffins bearing her name, and vessels marked with the name of the mayor of Thebes, Sennefer, and that of his beloved Sentnay [2].
