Valley of the Queens

While not nearly as big as the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, there are still over 70 tombs here too. Sons of kings who died before ascending to the throne were also buried here. The tombs were quite a bit smaller, with not nearly as many chambers, even though the pictures were still incredibly elaborate & maintained wonderful colourings. One of the tombs had a little glass box in the corner that had the remains of a still-born child - very chilling.
