Fear No Curses! Amazing 360° Virtual Tour of Pharaoh Ramesses VI’s Tomb!
Ever wanted to explore the tomb of an Egyptian Pharaoh without fear of an ancient curse? Earlier this year, the Egyptian Tourism Authority released an astonishing, full 3D model of the tomb of Ramesses VI. As opposed to most virtual tours (which are little more than videos), this is a truly interactive experience, one that allows you to peruse the tomb at your leisure without limits.
You can view the entire floorplan of Ramesses VI’s tomb, exploring level-by-level, enjoying intricacies at every angle. You can literally get “lost” for hours inside. If self-quarantine has you feeling stir-crazy, take a trip to The Valley of the Kings, HERE.

About Pharoh Ramesses VI:
Ramesses VI Nebmaatre-Meryamun (sometimes written Ramses or Rameses, also known under his princely name of Amenherkhepshef C) was the fifth pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt. He reigned for about eight years in the mid-to-late 12th century BC and was a son of Ramesses III and queen Iset Ta-Hemdjert. As a prince, he was known as Ramesses Amunherkhepeshef and held the titles of royal scribe and cavalry general. He was succeeded by his son, Ramesses VII Itamun, whom he had fathered with queen Nubkhesbed. (Source)

About Ramesses VI’s Tomb:
Ramesses VI was buried in the Valley of the Kings, in a tomb now known as KV9. The tomb was first built for Ramesses V, who may have been buried in it for the short period of time necessary for another, likely undecorated tomb, to be cut for him somewhere else in the Valley of Kings and which remains to be discovered. In any case, Ramesses VI commanded that KV9 be entirely refurbished for himself with no space left for Ramesses V’s permanent burial, who was finally led to rest in Ramesses VI’s second year on the throne, possibly because stability had returned to Thebes at the time.
