Sjef Willockx has proposed that KV38 was original built by Hatshepsut as the tomb for a young Thutmose III in the case that the boy-king Thutmose III would not live to see adulthood. Later, after he reach adulthood, Willockx proposed that instead of extending the tomb to accommodate his adult burial, Thutmose III choose to carve a new tomb, KV34 for himself while the old tomb, KV38, was expanded to accommodate the reburial of his grandfather Thutmose I.
