Certainly, the most important decorated tombs should be closed to protect the wall decorations, but there must be a way of sealing off the painted burial chamber of Tutankhamen from tourists standing in the antechamber. Also, tombs whose decoration is badly damaged, such as Merenptah and Siptah's tombs, might be well suited as examples for tourists to visit to get an idea of the scale and remaining decoration of a king's tomb.
The most important tombs should be reproduced for tourists to explore the replica tombs. The tombs of Thutmosis III, Amenhotep II, Amenhotep III, Ramses I, Seti I, Ramses IV, and Ramses VI should be closed.
