Amenhotep III's body was found in 1898 hidden along with more than a dozen other royals in Kv35, the tombof his own grandfather, Amenhotep II. Several hundred years late, priests seeking to protect such royal remains from tomb robbers wrapped the mummies in fresh linens and reburied them in groups.
In 1907 a badly decayed mummy was discoverd in KV55, a small tomb in the Vally of the Kings containing a jumble of artiffacts connected to various kings and queens of the late 18th dynasty.
