Ramesses IV ascended the throne late in life, and to ensure that he would have a sizable tomb (during what would be a relatively brief reign of about six years), he doubled the size of the existing work gangs at Deir el-Medina to a total of 120 men. [4] Though sizable, KV2 has been described as "simplistic" in its design and decoration. [5]

The tomb was originally started by Setnakhte, but abandoned when it unintentionally broke into the earlier tomb of Amenmesse . Setnakhte was buried in KV14. The tomb KV11 was later restarted and extended and on a different axis for ...
