Tomb KV58, also known as the "Chariot Tomb", is located in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. It was discovered in January 1909 by Harold Jones, excavating on behalf of Theodore M. Davis.[1] The circumstances of the discovery and specifics of the excavation were only given a passing mention in Davis' account,[2] who attributes the discovery to Edward Ayrton in 1907 instead. The tomb consists of a shaft leading to a single chamber and contained only embossed gold foil, furniture knobs, and a single ushabti. The contents likely originated from the Eighteenth Dynasty tomb of Ay in WV23.[1] Davis considered this tomb to be the burial place of the then little-known pharaoh Tutankhamun.[3]
