Ahmose is quite battered, and is quite different from the other tombs in the cliff. Where they are usually as series of squarish room with pillars, Ahmose’s tomb is a long, narrow corridor, then a long, narrow transverse hall.There is a lovely relief of a victorious Akhenaton in a chariot –a though there is little evidence that he actually led his army anywhere, much less into battle.
