Summary The Valley of the Queens, less famous than the Valley of the Kings, is nevertheless home to nearly a hundred tombs. Archaeologists are trying to unravel the mysteries of this necropolis, which housed not only royal wives but also princes and other members of their families. Some of the tombs were looted in ancient times, but others are still richly decorated. Scientists explain the techniques used to obtain the splendid colors that still adorn Nefertari's tomb today, even though it is 3000 years old. The queens of Egypt, these powerful women, were for some of them holders of religious and political power, following the example of their husbands Pharaohs.
