QV80 is the tomb of
(Mut-)Tuya, the Great Royal Wife of
Seti I, and the mother of
Ramses II, in
Egypt's
Valley of the Queens.
[1]
Lepsius merely makes mention of this tomb. In his list this is tomb number 7. [2] The tomb is listed as unnumbered in Porter and Moss. [3] A more detailed description is given in a report by Demas and Neville for the Getty Conservation Institute. [4]
The tomb is located to the west of QV66, the tomb of Nefertari. [3] It is thought that Tuya died around year 22 of the reign of her son Ramesses II. [4] This estimate is based on the find of a jar docket dated to year 22 of Ramesses II. The inscription reads:
The painted scenes are not well preserved due to later use of the tomb. Several objects, including the head of one of the canopic jars, fragments of a sarcophagus and parts of ushabtis were found in the tomb. [4]
The tomb was reused during the Third Intermediate period and possibly the Ptolemaic and Coptic Periods. [4]
