The chambers are roughly cut, undecorated, and in many places incomplete, suggesting that construction ceased at an early stage.

circa 1195 BCE

Entryway A
Entryway A is irregular in plan and measures approximately 1.68 meters in width and 3.32 meters in length. Unlike many royal tomb entrances in the valley, the entryway is positioned slightly off the central axis of the monument. The entrance passage was left undecorated and appears to have received only limited finishing work. Its irregular form and unfinished surfaces indicate that construction did not progress far beyond the initial stages of excavation.

Chamber B
Chamber B constitutes the first substantial interior space within the tomb. The chamber measures approximately 2.24 meters in height, 5.55 meters in width, and 7.68 meters in length. The surfaces of the chamber are roughly finished and undecorated. A central pillar stands within the room, probably intended to provide structural support for the ceiling. The chamber also contains a stairway cut into the north wall that leads to deeper sections of the tomb. Evidence within the chamber indicates that several subsidiary chambers were planned, although most were left unfinished.

Descent B
The feature identified as Descent B consists of a set of steps cut into the floor at the rear of Chamber B. This descending passage measures approximately 3.58 meters in height, 1.65 meters in width, and 4.48 meters in length. The steps descend toward the northwest corner of the chamber. To accommodate the stairway, part of the rear wall above it was cut back, creating additional headroom.

Side Chambers Ba, Bb, and Bc

Three unfinished side chambers are associated with Chamber B.

Side Chamber Ba measures approximately 1.53 meters in height, 1.92 meters in irregular width, and 1.62 meters in length. The chamber was left unfinished and shows no evidence of decoration.

Side Chamber Bb measures approximately 1.68 meters in irregular height, 2.83 meters in irregular width, and 1.16 meters in length. Excavation of this chamber appears to have been halted early in its construction. Only the lower right portion of the front wall was fully cut.

Side Chamber Bc lies to the east of Chamber B and measures approximately 1.31 meters in height, 1.34 meters in width, and 1.13 meters in length. Like the other side chambers, it was never completed.

Corridor C
Corridor C measures approximately 2.23 meters in height, 1.6 meters in width, and 9.59 meters in length. The corridor slopes downward, although the slope of the floor is steeper than that of the ceiling. The cutting of the passage becomes progressively smoother toward the rear (north) end, where the ceiling height is also slightly greater than at the front (south) end. These variations suggest that excavation was still in progress when work was abandoned.

Stairwell D
Stairwell D measures approximately 5.42 meters in irregular height, 1.56 meters in width, and 4.06 meters in length. This vertical feature forms a transitional descent between Corridor C and the deeper sections of the tomb.

Corridor E
Corridor E measures approximately 2.12 meters in height, 1.64 meters in width, and 5.46 meters in length. The sloping floor of this corridor connects Stairwell D with Chamber F. The passage remains undecorated and exhibits the rough cutting characteristic of the unfinished tomb.

Chamber F
Chamber F is a long, narrow, and relatively low chamber measuring approximately 1.94 meters in height, 3.67 meters in width, and 10.66 meters in length. Four side chambers were cut from this room, three along the left (west) wall and one along the right (east) wall. The entrances to two of the side chambers lie nearly opposite one another. In addition, outlines painted on the east wall indicate that two further doorways were planned but never excavated. Another painted outline appears on the rear wall to the left of the entrance to Chamber G, suggesting that additional chambers had been intended as part of the original design.

Side Chambers Fa, Fb, Fc, and Fd
Four unfinished side chambers extend from Chamber F.

Side Chamber Fa measures approximately 1.89 meters in height, 5.3 meters in width, and 3.06 meters in length. Excavation of the rear wall was left incomplete, probably due to the presence of a hard vein of calcite in the rock. The longitudinal axis of this chamber runs parallel to that of Chamber F.

Side Chamber Fb measures approximately 1.87 meters in height, 3.13 meters in width, and 3.83 meters in length. Work in this chamber was halted due to a slanting vein of calcite in the rear wall.

Side Chamber Fc measures approximately 1.84 meters in height, 2.79 meters in width, and 4.53 meters in length. As in the previous chambers, excavation was interrupted by a hard calcite vein in the rear wall.

Side Chamber Fd measures approximately 1.84 meters in height, 5.32 meters in width, and 3 meters in length. Excavation of this chamber was also abandoned due to a calcite vein encountered in the rear wall. The longitudinal axis of the chamber runs parallel to that of Chamber F.

Chamber G
Chamber G measures approximately 1.94 meters in height, 3.24 meters in width, and 10.56 meters in length. The chamber is undecorated and retains the rough surfaces typical of unfinished excavation. During the construction of KV9, a breakthrough occurred at the bottom of the east wall of this chamber. This accidental penetration connected the earlier unfinished tomb with the later royal monument.

Side Chamber Ga
Side Chamber Ga measures approximately 1.95 meters in height, 3.1 meters in width, and 4.49 meters in length. The cutting of the chamber walls is irregular, indicating that excavation was not completed. Although the chamber remained undecorated, a graffito on the front wall was reported in the nineteenth century by the explorer James Burton. This graffito is no longer visible today.
