QV66 is the tomb of Nefertari, the great wife of Pharaoh Ramesses II (1279-1213 B.C.) in Egypt's Valley of the Queens. It was discovered by Ernesto Schiaparelli. The director of the Sistine Chapel of Ancient Egypt. Nefertari, which means "Beautiful companion", was Ramess's favourite wife.
In the Valley of the Queens, Nefertari's tomb once held the mummified body and representative symbolism of her, like what most Egyptian tombs consisted of. Now, everything has been looted except for two-third of the 5,200 square feet of wall paintings.
For what still remains, these wall paintings characterized Nefertari,s character. Her face was given a lot of attention to emphasize her beauty, some paintings were full of lines and colours of red, blue, yellow, and green that portrayed exquisite directions to navigate through the afterlife to paradise.
