The beloved wife of the great Pharaoh Ramses II (reigned around 1279–1213 BC), she was highly respected, educated and knew how to read and write hieroglyphs. In 1904, the Italian archaeologist Ernesto Schiaparelli discovered her tomb - the most ornate in the Valley of the Queens, with brilliantly painted scenes depicting her perilous path to immortality. Schiaparelli also made important discoveries in the nearby village of Deir el Medina, which show what the daily life of the artisans was like, who built the magnificent Tomb of Nefertiti.
