dbo:abstract
  • The majority of the 65 numbered tombs in the Valley of the Kings can be considered minor tombs, either because at present they have yielded little information or because the results of their investigation was only poorly recorded by their explorers, while some have received very little attention or were only cursorily noted. Most of these tombs are small, often only consisting of a single burial chamber accessed by means of a shaft or a staircase with a corridor or a series of corridors leading to the chamber, but some are larger, multiple chambered tombs. These minor tombs served various purposes, some were intended for burials of lesser royalty or for private burials, some contained animal burials and others apparently never received a primary burial. In many cases these tombs also served secondary functions and later intrusive material has been found related to these secondary activities. While some of these tombs have been open since antiquity, the majority were discovered in the 19th and early 20th centuries during the height of exploration in the valley. (en)
  • Circa trenta delle tombe esistenti nella Valle dei Re possono essere considerate minori vuoi per le scarse informazioni reperibili, vuoi perché i diari di scavo relativi alla loro scoperta sono lacunosi, vuoi, ancora, perché molte di tali tombe, note fin dall’antichità, sono state nei millenni depredate e poche o nulle informazioni sono ricavabili sui loro titolari originali. In alcuni casi, le tombe sono state riutilizzate, in tempi storici, come rifugio di anacoreti o cappelle, o come abitazioni e nascondigli. In altri, si tratta di siti particolarmente piccoli costituiti da un'unica camera o esclusivamente da un pozzo di accesso che non si sviluppa in un complesso funerario (ad esempio ). Sono annoverati tra le tombe minori anche palesi progetti di scavo mai portati a conclusione o fosse predisposte solo come depositi di materiale da utilizzarsi in sepolture in fase di realizzazione (ad esempio KV53) o sfruttate dai ladri come nascondiglio temporaneo di refurtiva. Pur trattandosi della Valle dei Re, alcune tombe vennero originariamente destinate a personaggi non facenti parte degli entourage reali; in altri casi le sepolture sono intrusive e i corpi contenuti non appartengono ai titolari per cui furono scavate. Alle tombe della Valle, siano esse quelle considerate principali, o le minori, vennero assegnate sigle alfanumeriche a seconda che si trovassero nella valle principale (sigla KV seguita da un progressivo) o nella valle occidentale (sigla WV, ovvero West Valley, seguita da un progressivo). Anche queste ultime, tuttavia, sono ugualmente oggi contrassegnate, più usualmente, con la sigla KV seguita dal progressivo.
