KV32

Tomb KV32, located in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, is the burial site of Tia'a, the wife of Amenhotep II and mother of Thutmose IV.

The tomb was discovered in 1898 by Victor Loret. It is unfinished and undecorated, and runs back some 40 metres into the mountainside. A portion of it was penetrated by workmen digging the original burial chamber in the tomb of Siptah KV47.

KV32 has not yet been fully cleared or excavated, but work is underway by a team from the University of Basel's MISR Project.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Key Of 2

    by: Violent Femmes

    Well I was sentenced to prison
    To do about one year
    They said it isn't so bad
    We got a good band here
    We play every Wednesday night
    Sometimes Tuesday too
    It's the music of the future and it will get to you
    When I heard the band for the first time
    They has no (rhythm). They had no (rhyme)
    Well it almost like a dream
    I never wanted to have
    It drove me (crazy). It drove me (mad)
    The man said: "C'mon and play
    And here's an instrument for you
    It's an ancient flute
    It's in the key of 2. Blow..."
    I gotta get more time. I gotta stay in here
    I used to be foggy
    But the music made me clear
    Now the jail in rockin' like Elvis never knew
    I'm on the inside now. I'm in the key of 2
    Now we all are lifers and I'm in the band too
    We play my favorite song. It's in the key of 2
    And it will get to you
    It's the music of the future and it will get to you
    And it will get to you
