KV28
Tomb KV28 is an ancient Egyptian tomb located in the Valley of the Kings in the Theban Necropolis in Upper Egypt. It was first excavated by persons unknown, and excavation in the 1990s led by Donald P. Ryan found the bones of three individuals, fragments of a limestone canopic jar, numerous wooden fragments, and early to mid Eighteenth Dynasty pottery.[1] The occupants were possibly nobles, given the tomb's proximity to the tomb of Thutmose IV.
