He died before his father and was buried in the reused sarcophagus of Tausret in an extension of the tomb originally planned for Chancellor Bay, KV13.[3] The tomb is located in the Valley of the Kings, on the west bank of the Nile, in Thebes, Egypt.
Notes
- The "D" in this name is not part of the original Egyptian name, rather it is a denomination added in modern Egyptology to distinguish him from other people of the same name:
Amenherkhepshef A, a son of Ramesses II,
Amenherkhepshef B, a son of Ramesses III, and
Amenherkhepshef C, Ramesses VI.
