Tomb of Ramses III, Luxor Overview
The Tomb of Ramses III is located in the Valley of Kings on the Western Bank of the Nile. It is one of the longest tombs in the Valley at 125 metres. It is exceptionally well preserved, and the detailed engravings on the tomb's walls are still very vivid. However, what sets this tomb apart is the evidence of foreign trade that was buried with Ramses III.
Detailed pottery and depictions of royals and armour of the Aegeans can be found in the side rooms. There is also a depiction of two blind musicians, which gives the tomb its alternative name, ‘the tomb of the Harpers.’ The tomb was initially built by Sethnakht, who abandoned work on it when construction hit the shaft of an adjacent tomb. Work resumed under Ramses III, and the workers shifted the tomb's axis to the West. The side hall is filled with grand pillars and engravings of scenes from the Book of Gates.
