WVA
Historic site in Luxor
WVA, also known as KV A, is a small single room tomb in the Western Valley of the Kings associated with WV22, the tomb of Pharaoh Amenhotep III of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Located 60 metres (200 ft) south of the tomb of Amenhotep III, it was discovered by Karl Richard Lepsius in 1845; he recorded that it contained pottery bearing the name of a king. The tomb was re-excavated in the 1990s by a team from Waseda University led by Sakuji Yoshimura and Jiro Kondo. They found the tomb contained assorted jars and sealings, indicating the tomb was likely used as storage for overflow from the nearby tomb of Amenhotep III.
