This section as well as the following four
sections have been omitted in the tomb of Ramesses
IV, and in their place we find a sarcophagus slide
and two small recesses <(1)> cut slightly above the floor
level at the end of the Fourth Passage.
<(1) The recesses are referred to in the Turin Papyrus in the following terms: [ 𓂀 ] (op. cit., pl XXIX, w.d., p. 137.)>
T. An Antechamber – (? a first "Hall of Waiting.").
The only instance of this chamber being décor-
ated in the Eighteenth Dynasty is in the tomb of
Thutmosis III, where a long list of names of gods
cover the plastered walls.
U. A Sunken Stairway, cut in the floor of the Ante-
chamber (T).
V. A Descending axial Passage or corric/<d>or.
W. A Descending Stairway with narrow recesses on
either side, like (Q).
X. The Antechamber. This chamber is generally de-
corated: the subjects being similar to those in
the Chamber of the 'Protective-Well' (S).
In the Turin Papyrus it is called "The Hall
of Waiting."
Y. The anterior part of the Sarcophagus Chamber.
Z. The posterior part of the Sarcophagus Chamber.
The first section (Y) of the Sarcophagus
Chamber has two rows of three pillars, and at
the end of the central aisle are steps which lead
down to the second section (Z), the 'Well' for
the sarcophagus, cut at a much lower level.
When complete both of these sections were
plastered and painted with scenes and citations
