Amarna: The Royal Tomb of Akhnaten.
Tomba reale di Akhenaton.

The Royal Tomb of #Akhenaten, located in the Royal Wadi at #Amarna, is the burial place of the Eighteenth Dynasty pharaoh #Akhenaton .

A flight of twenty steps, with a central inclined plane leads to the door and a long straight descending corridor. Halfway down this corridor a suite of unfinished rooms (perhaps intended for #Nefertiti).
The main corridor continues to descend, and to the right again a second suite of rooms branches off.

The corridor then descends via steps into an ante-room, and then to the pillared burial chamber where his granite sarcophagus sat in a slight dip in the floor.
It was decorated by carvings of Nefertiti acting as a protective goddess, and by the ever-present sun-disks of the Aten
