  Many of the wall decorations have been badly damaged by the flash floods that periodically sweep through the valley. The excavation revealed mortar fragments decorated with blue inscriptions along with yellow star motifs. On fragments of a yellow-tinged background (intended to resemble aged papyrus), it was discovered that the tomb also contained portions of the Amduat, a funerary text commonly found in royal tombs of the period intended to guide deceased royalty through the afterlife, with text written in the cursive hieroglyphic book hand used more commonly for sacred texts on papyrus. Thus, archaeologists surmised that the decoration of the tomb would have originally resembled that of KV34, the tomb of Thutmose II's son, Thutmose III.
