Merneptah
The steep descent into the tomb is typical of the designs of the XIX Dynasty. The entrance is
decorated with Isis and Nephthys worshipping the solar disc. Text from the Book of the Gates
line the corridors. The outer granite lid of the sarcophagus is located in the antechamber, while
the lid of the inner sarcophagus is located down more steps in the pillared hall. Carved on the
pink granite lid is the figure of Merneptah as Osiris.
