Near the tomb of Seti II in the south-west branch of the Valley, is the burial place of his son Siptah Akhenre Setepenre of Dynasty XIX.

A central ramp descends between a stone-cut staircase into the wide corridors of Siptah's tomb. At each side of the entrance, carved in sunk relief and painted, is a winged image of Ma'at protecting the king's cartouches. These were erased in antiquity and subsequently restored. The now traditional scene of the sun disc with scarab and ram-headed god between the kneeling Isis and Nephthys is beautifully painted, as is the depiction of the king receiving life from Re-Horakhty. Further down the first corridor a text from the 'Litany of Re' survives on the right-hand wall and carries on into the next corridor. The ceiling is decorated with depictions of flying vultures and serpents. The paintings in the tomb are now protected by glass panels.

In the next corridor there is more of the 'Litany of Re' and scenes of Anubis, with Isis and Nephthys. These two goddesses are also depicted as birds on the ceiling.

The rest of the tomb was badly damaged by flooding both in antiquity and recently and most of the decoration is now gone, although fragments of paint still appear here and there, as well as masons guide-lines in red paint presumably for work which was never completed.

At the end of the tomb is a transverse burial chamber, rough and undecorated, but still containing the red granite cartouche-shaped outer sarcophagus of the king. Vertical masons' marks on the north wall reflect the row of four pillars along the south wall as though it was intended that more pillars were to be cut.

The tomb of Siptah is currently open to visitors. Tickets can be bought from the main West Bank ticket office or from the ticket office at the entrance to the Valley of the Kings.
