King Tuthmosis IV was the 8th pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty. His father was Amenhotep II and his mother was Queen Mutemuya, the daughter of the Mitannian King who produced the heir to the throne Amenhotep III. King Tuthmosis IV is most famous with his dream stela.
His tomb KV 43 was first entered in 1903 by the Egyptologist Howard Carter (discoverer of the Tomb of Tutankhamun KV 62). It is generally similar to that of Amenhotep II (KV 35), but with some differences. The tomb's total area measures about 407.7 m², and its length is about 105.73 m.
