The Valley of the Queens, also known as Biban el-Harim , Biban el-Sultanat , and Wadi el-Melikat , is a place in
Egypt where wives of
Pharaohs were buried in ancient times. In ancient times, it was known as Ta-Set-Neferu, meaning –‘the place of the Children of the Pharaoh’, because along with the Queens of the
18th,
19th and
20th dynasties (1550–1070 BCE) many princes and princesses were also buried with various members of the nobility. The tombs of these individuals were maintained by mortuary priests who performed daily rituals and provided offerings and prayers for the deceased nobility.
