Inventory of KV46:
The Tomb of 
Yuya and Thuyu

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
and with strange eons even death may die.
H.P. Lovecraft


      The plan above (dimensions in meters), like most of the information in this inventory, was taken from Theodore M. Davis' The Tomb of Iouiya and Touiyou.  Woefully inadequate as an excavation report, it does not contain a single illustration of the tomb as it appeared in situ.   For more detailed descriptions of the tomb's contents and item numbers from Catalogue General of the Cairo Egyptian Museum I have referred to Dennis C. Forbes' Tombs, Treasures, Mummies.

      The sketch below of the tomb's contents is based on that of Joseph Lindon Smith, the only illustration of how the grave goods in the tomb were arranged.

      The objects have been grouped into eight catagories which can be viewed by clicking on their outline on the sketch or on the links below.
