The tomb of Seti I in the Valley of the Kings is how many meters long?

The tomb of Seti I in the Valley of the Kings is about 137 metres long.

Known as KV17, Seti I’s tomb was one of the most ambitious royal tombs of the New Kingdom. Its main passages and chambers extend approximately 137.19 metres, making the rounded quiz answer 137 metres. The tomb follows a distinctive joggled axis, in which the route changes direction as it descends deeper underground.

The burial place is famous for the quality and extent of its decoration. Reliefs and paintings cover nearly every passage and chamber, including scenes and texts from Egyptian funerary books such as the Book of Gates, the Litany of Ra and the Book of the Heavenly Cow. Its vaulted burial chamber was an important architectural feature.

Giovanni Belzoni discovered the tomb in 1817. A later tunnel extending beneath the burial chamber created another possible source of confusion: the tunnel was eventually measured at about 174 metres. That figure refers to the secret passage, not the tomb’s commonly cited overall length. Seti I’s mummy was later found in the royal cache at Deir el-Bahari.
