An Italian explorer and showman, Belzoni gained fame in the early 19th century for his archaeological work in Egypt. He discovered the tomb, which is located in the Valley of the Kings, in 1817, unearthing significant artifacts and contributing to the understanding of ancient Egyptian burial practices. His findings helped to spark greater interest in Egyptology.
