KV48

Tomb KV48 is an ancient Egyptian tomb located in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. It contained the burial of the noble Amenemopet called Pairy.

The tomb lay near KV35, the tomb of Amenhotep II, and was entered by a shaft that leads to a small chamber containing a destroyed burial of the eighteenth dynasty. The floor was covered in limestone chips and broken objects which included a mud seal from a papyrus and shattered coffin fragments.

The unwrapped and broken mummy of the owner of the tomb was found with three inscribed mud bricks and a number of ushabti giving the name of the tomb owner as Amenemopet.

    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
