Tomb KV61 is an unused tomb discovered in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. As it was discovered to be unused, it is unclear whether a burial was ever intended for it. It is likely that a pharaoh was once buried/to be buried in the tomb. However, if so, the pharaoh was buried/moved somewhere else for reasons unknown.
