History (Valley of the Queens)

The first burials in the Valley of the Kings date back to the end of the 46th – beginning of the 30th Dynasty and belong to a vizier (QVXNUMX) and a stable master (QVXNUMX).

XVIII dynasty
Edit
One of the first tombs in the Valley of the Queens is that of Princess Ahmose, daughter of Pharaoh Seqenenre Tao and Queen Sitdjehuti. This tomb probably dates back to the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose I. During this period, several noblemen were also buried in the tomb, including the chief stablemaster and the vizier.[3]

The tombs of the Valley of the Three Shafts mostly date to the Thutmosid period. These tombs are labeled with the letters A through L. The valley also contains three shaft tombs, which give the valley its name. The modern labels for these three tombs are QV89, QV90, and QV91.[3]

In the Dolmen Valley, the path that workers took from their village of Deir el-Medina to the Valley of the Queens has been preserved. Along this route is a small rock temple built in honor of Ptah and Meritseger.

Tombs of this period are usually simple in form and consist of a chamber with a shaft. Some tombs were expanded to bury more than one person. They were used to bury members of the royal family - princes and princesses, as well as some aristocrats.

The Tomb of the Princesses dates back to the time of Amenhotep III. Its current location is forgotten, but the artefacts found there are on display in museums.[4] Among the finds is a fragment of a jug belonging to the wife of Pharaoh Hen[who?] from the mid-5th Dynasty. Her name is recorded in the cartouche. Fragments of canopic jars were found with the name of Prince Menkheperre, son of Thutmose III and Merytre Hatshepsut. The name of the great wife of Pharaoh Nebetnehat from the mid-XNUMXth Dynasty has been established, since it is recorded in the cartouche. Fragments of canopic jars were also found with the name of the daughter of Pharaoh Tay[who?], who lived in the mid-XNUMXth Dynasty.[XNUMX]
