|
Arabic
names: Biban el-Harim or Biban el-Sultanat.
Cementery of the royal wives and sons of some the New Kingdom pharaohs,
located on the west part of Thebes, about kilometre to the northwest of
Medinet Habu. The site includes the tombs of some members of the late
XVIIth and early XVIIIth Dynasty royal family. The most of tombs were
virtually excavated by Ernesto Schaparelli in 1903-05. The earliest
inscribed tomb is QV38, belonging to Sitre, the wife of Ramesses I, but
the best known and undoubtedly the finest is QV66, the tomb of
Nefertari, Some of tombs of the princes include beautifully preserved
painted decoration, as in the case of QV55 and QV44 belonging to
Amonherkhopshef and Khaemwaset, two sons of Ramesses III. Below
