Tomb WV22, in the Western arm of the Valley of the Kings, was used as the resting place of one of the greatest rulers of Egypt's New Kingdom, Amenhotep III.

It was officially discovered by Prosper Jollois and Édouard de Villiers du Terrage, engineers with Napoleon's expedition to Egypt in August 1799, but had probably been open for some time before that.
