Tomb KV6 is among the first tombs in the Valley of the Kings. It has been open since antiquity. Many inscriptions have been left by ancient visitors in the tomb. The tomb is the burial place of the Pharaoh Ramesses IX who ruled in the 20th Dynasty. The archeological findings however show that it was completed in a hurry since many corners were cut after Ramesses IXs death. Located in the central wadi KV6 has a total area of 105 meters and has a gate with a shallow descending ramp. Following this ramp there are three stretches of corridors with four side chambers two on both sides. However none of these four chambers is finished or decorated. The tomb is said to have one of the largest entrances in the entire valley. Also the intention of cutting pilasters at the end of the entryway and presence of four side chambers is rare. The presence of a large two tiered pit in the burial chamber is another remarkable feature. KV6 is included among the last tombs of the Valley which feeatures a large amount of ornate decoration.

The Karnak Temple Complex comprises a vast mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings near Luxor, in Egypt. Construction at the complex began during the reign of Senusret I in the Middle Kingdom and continued into the Ptolemaic period, although most of the extant buildings date from the New Kingdom. The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ("The Most Selected of Places") and the main place of worship of the eighteenth dynasty Theban Triad with the god Amun as its head. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes. The Karnak complex gives its name to the nearby, and partly surrounded, modern village of El-Karnak, 2.5 kilometres (1.6 miles) north of Luxor.
