Tomb KV39 in Egypt's Valley of the Kings is one of the possible locations of the tomb of Amenhotep I, a pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. It is located high in the cliffs, away from the main valley bottom and other royal burials. It is in a small wadi that runs from the east side of Al-Qurn hill, directly under the ridge where the workmen's village of Deir el-Medina lies. The layout of the tomb is unique. It has two axes, one east and one south. Its construction seems to have occurred in three phases. It began as a simple straight axis tomb that never continued past the first room.
