	QV66 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was 'discovered' by Ernesto Schiaparelli (the director of the Egyptian Museum in Turin) in 1904.
		In 1986 an operation to restore all the paintings within the tomb was embarked upon by the Egyptian Antiquities Organisation and the Getty Conservation Institute; however, work did not begin on the actual restoration until 1988 which was completed in April 1992.
		Unfortunately by the time that Schiaparelli rediscovered Nefertari’s tomb it had already been found by tomb raiders, who had stolen all the treasure buried with the Queen, including her sarcophagus and mummy.

		Her father's brother, Giovanni Schiaparelli, of the Brera Observatory in Milan, was the discoverer of the "canals" on Mars.
		Her father's cousin, Ernesto, of the Museum of Antiquities in Turin, had followed what must have been his lucky star to Egypt, for he not only discovered the Valley of the Kings but was the only archeologist who ever got a tomb out without having to leave half of it where it belonged, in Cairo.
		From these classical and heavenly influences, Madame Schiaparelli emerged with only a facility for modern languages and a fidelity to a twentieth-century onyx brooch on which diamonds trace the constellation of the Great Bear, under which sign she was born.

	Valley of queens
		From 1903 to 1906 the Italian archaeological expedition led by Ernesto Schiaparelli discovered about eighty tombs, many of which were seriously damaged; some of them featured traces of fire whereas others were reduced to stables.
		This tomb, discovered in 1904 by the Italian Ernesto Schiaparelli, was excavatd to the west of the valley for Nefertari Mery-en-Mut, the best-loved of Ramses II's numerous wives; it was in her honour that he built the beautiful temple of Abu Simple.
		The 27 and a half metre long tomb is to be found eight metres 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, on top of which the pictorial decoration takes on the appearance of a relief.

		He was then at the beginning of his brilliant career as an Egyptologist (he was to become director of the Egyptian Museums of Florence and Turin, the author of famous scholarly works and a Senator of the Kingdom of Italy).
		Schiaparelli was elected Secretary, and he held this, his chosen office, until the day of his death.
		But Schiaparelli was skillfully able to exploit even these winds of history to fill the sails of his missionary ships, and he managed to obtain support, financial and other assistance and facilitations for the missionaries (there was a time when the missionaries were allowed a 50% discount on train fares).

		The tomb of Queen Nefertari was discovered in the Queen's Valley by Ernesto Schiaparelli, Director of the Turin Museum, in 1904.
		Schiaparelli conducted extensive excavations in the Valley during the two years he worked there until he decided it was exhausted.
		There are two lateral annexes and a rear inner room off the burial chamber, but the decoration in these rooms is poorly preserved compared to the main part of the tomb, with only a few fragments of the once brightly painted plaster remaining.

		The final additions to the collection were from a series of archaeological excavations undertaken by Ernesto Schiaparelli between 1903 and 1920.
		The museum is housed in a building specially constructed to house it in Via Accademia delle Scienze, and appears in the original 1969 version of The Italian Job when the robbers transfer the gold bullion to the three Mini Coopers.

		The Egyptian Museum in Florence was formally founded in 1855, while Egyptologist Ernesto Schiaparelli from Piedmont, the future director of the Egyptian Museum in Turin, was asked to transfer the Egyptian antiquities and arrange them in their present exhibition rooms in 1880, together with the Archeological Museum.
		The rooms displaying the various objects have for the most part all been renovated: Schiaparelli's old arrangement is now being substituted by a new one in chronological and, where possible, also topographical order.

		Although in the turbulence of 19th-century Italy, little time, money or attention could be spared from the demanding task of establishing a new country the present century has seen constant, careful expansion.
		This was achieved partly by purchases and exchanges with other museums, and partly by excavations in Egypt sponsored jointly by the museum and theMissione Archeologica Italiana, under the direction of archeologists like Ernesto Schiaparelli, Giulio Farina, Sergio Donadoni and Silvio Curto.
		Among the most interesting finds from museum excavations in Egypt have been those from burials at Heliopolis, Asyutand Gebelein - not rich pharaonic tombs, but the graves of simple landowners and rather minor government officials.

During the voyage of the Franco-Toscan expedition (1828-1829), Jean-François Champollion (1790-1832) and Ippolito Rosellini (1800-1843) recopied the texts of the tomb, notably those of the Amduat which Schiaparelli Ernesto (1856-1928) took care to translate.
		Yet, the tomb was only cleared until 1888 by the aid of Georges Daressy (1864-1938), whose work was completed in 1985 by the excavation of the well led by Edwin C. Brock.

		The magnificent crypt with its 520 square yards (430 square metres) of some of the finest painting ever produced by Egyptian civilisation was almost completely destroyed even before Italian egyptologist Ernesto Schiaparelli found it.
		An international team of archaeologists and even biologists worked for four years to prevent the walls from absorbing more water, piecing together the mural jigsaw based on photos taken by Schiaparelli that showed the paintings before they were severely damaged.
		Each fragment was carefully dusted and sprayed with a fixative chemical and the result, according to antiquities inspector Fathy Yassin, is magnificent.

		The anthropological collections were assembled by Giovanni Marro during the excavation campaigns of the Italian Archeological Mission in Egypt conducted from 1903 to 1920 by Ernesto Schiaparelli, Director of the Egyptian Museum of Turin, and then from 1930 to 1937 by his successor Giulio Farina.
		Marro was the only one that combined archeological and anthropological research.
