QV60

QV60 tomb in Valley of the Queens belongs to Nebettawy, who was the daughter and Great Wife of Ramesses II. Some important people like Champollion and Lepsius talked about this tomb. Later, a person named Ernesto Schiaparelli, who was in charge of the Egyptian Museum in Turin, dug up this tomb. Tomb During the Coptic period, the tomb was changed into a chapel. In the first room, there are pictures of 41 judges on the left wall, each with a feather on their head. Nebettawy is shown giving a statue to a seated figure wearing two feathers on their head. In the second room, Nebettawy is shown in front of Horus and she has very important titles there: The Osiris, the King's Daughter, Great Royal Wife, Lady of the Two Lands, Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt. In one of the scenes, Queen Nebettawy wears a very special headdress. It has a vulture crown with a uraeus, topped by a modius and supporting several flowers. This specific headdress is only seen on Queen Nebettawy, Queen Isis (QV51 - during the time of Ramesses III-Ramesses IV), and Queen Tyti (QV52 – 20th dynasty). A previous version of this crown was worn by Princess-Queen Sitamun, who was the daughter-wife of Amenhotep III. References
