KV36

Tomb KV36, located in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, was used for the burial of the noble Maiherpri from the Eighteenth Dynasty.

Rediscovered by Victor Loret in his second season in the Valley of the Kings, on 30 March 1899, the tomb was found to be substantially undisturbed, but as it has for a long time not been properly published, it is not as well known as other burials in the valley.  The objects found came all to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo where they were published in the Catalogue General (short: CG).  The only source for the arrangement of the objects in the burial chamber was a short article by Georg Schweinfurth.  He visited the tomb briefly before its contents was brought to Cairo.  However, recently the notebooks of Loret were found and published, providing a detailed list and description of the objects found and their arrangement in the tomb chamber.

The tomb of Maherperi is a small shaft tomb with a chamber at the bottom on its west side.  The burial chamber was undecorated, as with all burial chambers of non-royals in the Valley of the King.  It is 3.90 m long and 4.10 m wide.
Not much is known about Maiherpri as he does not appear in sources outside the tomb.  Only two titles appear on the objects within the burial: child of the nursery and fan-bearer on the right side of the king.  The mummy showed that he was a young man when he died.
