Explanation:
Valley of the Queens is also known as Biban al Harim and Ta Set Neferu, which means "seat of beauty". From 1903 to 1906, an Italian expedition discovered about eighty tombs, some of which belonged to children of royalty.
The plan of these tombs usually consists of a small antechamber, long narrow corridor with several side chambers and at the end the burial chamber.
The most famous of all the tombs is for queen Titi, most propaply queen from the 20th dynasty In fact this beautiful tomb was in a bad condition because of the salt crystals seeping through its poor quality limestone. It was restored and reopened for visitors. Nefertari was the principal consort of king Ramses II.
This tomb of Nefertary discovered in 1904 by the Italian Ernesto Schiaparelli. It is about 27.5 meters long, and eight meters under ground level. It was dug in a very friable layer of rock so that the walls were covered by a thick layer of plaster.
When discovered, the sepulcher seemed to have been broken into since ancient times, all the objects had disappeared and the mummy of one of the most famous Egyptian queens had been reduced to a sunder.
Her tomb consists of a stairway leading down to a hall where on the walls there are representations of the queen with different gods and goddesses. The hall leads to an inner side chamber decorated with religious scenes such as queen Nefertari making burning incense and giving offerings to Osiris and Atom. A corridor then leads to the burial chamber whose wall is decorated with scenes of the Book of The Gates.
