The Tomb of Seti I, also known as KV17, is a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian art, stretching over 137 meters into the hillside. Its corridors and chambers are adorned with exquisite raised reliefs depicting religious texts like the Book of Gates and the Litany of Re. The burial chamber features a stunning astronomical ceiling. Visitors walk through multiple pillared halls and a deep shaft, which was designed to deter robbers. Though the alabaster sarcophagus is now in London, the tomb's artistry remains unparalleled, making it a highlight for those interested in pharaonic craftsmanship.
