  Nefertari - egyptian queen
Nefertari, -Beloved of Mut-"the noble lady, the great favourite" (view 9), was the Ramses II's Great Royal Wife (XIXth Dynasty, 1295-1255 BC) as the texts on her monuments extol her, still poses some problems for the historian.
Discovered in 1904, the tomb of Nefertari (QV66) is situated at the bottom of the north side of the main wadi in the Valley of the Queens (view 22).
Thus Nefertari's sumptuous 'eternal abode', a monumental Book of the Dead in stone, with walls instead of papyrus and painted reliefs instead of vignettes, by the distribution of its iconography admirably summarizes the main stages of her voyage in the Kingdom of the Dead.

The borders on the Nefertari are fl, vice blue.
It provides a small amount of background information on Nefertari, vice general information on Egypt and has a six card spread vice the seven card spread in the booklet for Tarot of the Sphinx.
