''".. contains a broken sarcophagus and some bad fresco painting of peculiarly short and graceless proportions." J.G. Wilkinson.'' The tomb of Ay was discovered by Giovanni Battista Belzoni in the winter of 1816. It is located at the end of the Western Valley of the Kings. It structure is similar to that of the tomb of Akhenaten, with a straight undecorated, descending corridor, leading to a ''Well chamber'' that has no shaft. This leads to the burial chamber, which currently contains the reconstructed sarcophagus. Its decoration is similar in content and colour to that of Tutankhamun, with a few twists. On the eastern wall there is a depiction of a fishing and fowling scene, which is not shown elsewhere in other Royal tombs, being usually shown in nobles only. Ancient Egypt
