		Beginning in the 19th Dynasty, another valley became the resting place of the wives and children of the king, known to the Egyptians as "the Place of Beauties." The area modern scholars have designated the Valley of the Queens was first used in the mid-18th Dynasty for the interment of high-ranking officials.

	Egypt Tour 2001 - Valley of the Kings and Queens
		Queen Hatshepsut who was more a patron of the arts than a military commander, ordered a funerary monument to be built for her father Tutmose I and herself, choosing for the site a valley which had already been consecrated to the goddess Hathor but had then been abandoned.
		On one of the walls a series of beautiful bas-reliefs depicts the birth and childhood of the queen as well as the expedition she organised to the mysterious country of Punt which has been assumed to be somewhere in the center of Africa since among things depicted are giraffes, monkeys, panther skins and ivory objects.
		The one lower down the valley nearer to the village shows vivid fantasy and great inventive capacity, especially in the scens illustrating family life, such as the one where a husband and wife, dressed alike in linnen garments, are shown affectionately seated together at a banquet.

	VALLEY OF THE KINGS
		And towering above the Valley is a mountain, al-Qurn (the horn in Arabic), whose shape may have reminded the ancient Egyptians of a pyramid, and is dedicated to the goddess Meretseger.
		The valley is separated into the East and West Valleys, with most of the important tombs in the East Valley, but as yet to date, not all the tombs in the Valley have been fully excavated.
		The Valley began to be heavily plundered, so in response to this during the 21st Dynasty, the priests of Amun opened most of the tombs and moved the mummies into three tombs in order to better protect them, even removing most of their treasure in order to further protect the bodies from robbers.

	Valley of queens
		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.
		Son of Ramses III and probably the younger brother of Amon-her-Khopechef, Prince Kamuast had a tomb similar to that of the kings in its plan, even though it is greatly reduced in size.

		A short distance from the Valley of the Kings lies the Valley of the Queens.
		As far as we know, King Ramsis I of the Nineteenth Family was the first to build a tomb for his wife in the Valley of the Queens.
		As for the rest of the tombs, they perhaps hide the families of the kings who followed King Ramsis III -- yet afterwards, the valley seems to have been abandoned as a royal settlement.

		The tombs were built according to patterns from the Valley of the Kings, but on a smaller scale.
		The reason why Valley of the Queens is so high on the Luxor bill, is one grave in particular: Nefertaris, and the illustrations to the left and bottom are from this.
		But it is all extremely fragile, and 5 year long restoration work was completed in the early 1990's, where paint and stucco was re-adhered to the walls, everything without altering or adding anything.
