Tomb KV14 is a joint tomb, used originally by Tausert and then reused and extended by Setnakhte. It has been open since antiquity, but was not properly recorded until Hartwig Altenmüller excavated it from 1983 to 1987.
Located in the main body of the Valley of the Kings, it has two burial chambers, the later extensions making the tomb one of the largest of the Royal Tombs, at over 112 metres long.
The original decoration showing the female Twosret was replaced with those of the male Setnakhte.
It is possible that Seti II was also buried in KV14 before being subsequently moved to the hastily finished KV15, perhaps by Setnakhte, in order to take over KV14 for his own tomb.[1]
