QV51
Historic site in Luxor
The tomb of Isis, also known by the designation QV51, is a tomb in the Valley of the Queens, in the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor, Egypt. It was cut for Queen Isis, wife of Ramesses III and mother of Ramesses VI. The tomb preserves painted and relief plaster decoration devoted to the queen's funerary journey and to her encounter with several deities, including Ptah-Sokar, Atum and Osiris. QV51 is considered one of the last tombs made in the Valley of the Queens. The burial was violated in antiquity and is mentioned in the records concerning tomb robberies at Thebes during the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt.
