点评:There are only four tombs open in the Valley of the Queens (which should be called the Valley of the Queens and Princes). The most vibrant and beautiful of them, not only in the Valley of the Queens but also in the Valley of the Kings, is the Tomb of Nefertari which requires a significant extra payment to view and you are only allowed 10 minutes to do so though there is some lee-way on the timing. If you can afford it and can move fast then it is worth it. The other three tombs appear to date from the time of Ramses III and are smaller and less spectacular but still worth-while viewing, particularly as they are included in the entry price. The Valley of the Queens is less visited than the Valley of the Kings so you never feel crowded and it will only take an hour or so to visit.
QV 66 Nefertari. When we arrived the Tomb of Nefertari was currently uncrowded so we saw it first and, to some degree, it spoiled us for the other tombs in the Valley of the Queens (though we got over it). It is a large tomb. You descend stairs into a chamber with one side room then descend more stairs to the 8 x 10 meter burial chamber with four pillars and three symmetrical side rooms. The pictures of Nefertari and the various gods on the painted plaster are colourful, vibrant and wonderfully preserved. Ceilings have the stars on black pattern. Wooden stairs and floors have been laid but there is no glass between you and the paintings. However, there is a 10 minute time limit in viewing this temple so you have to move fast! Photography is now permitted so I snapped away as fast as I could just so I would have time to savour it later.
QV 52 Titi. After seeing Nefertari's tomb the colours of the sunken plaster reliefs in Titi's tomb seemed washed out but we came to appreciate the difference and admire it for itself. Most walls are protected by glass panels and there are places where the plaster has been damaged. The ceilings have a faded but well-preserved star night pattern. There is a corridor with side chambers, a hall and burial chamber.
QV 55 Amen Khopshef / Amunherkhepshef. This tomb consists of an inclined entrance way, two chambers with side rooms (these are currently closed to visitors) and a burial chamber with a sarcophagus. The son of King Ramses III died in his teens and he is shown with his father in some of the paintings. The extensive sunken relief painted plaster has some bright colours. Much of the walls are protected by glass barriers.
QV 44 Kha M Waset or Khaemwaset. Another one of King Ramses III's sons is buried here in this corridor-type tomb consisting of an entrance way, a room with two side rooms then the burial room with two doorways that lead nowhere and a final square chamber. Khaemwaset is pictured with his father and the gods on the walls again in sunken relief painted plaster. These colourful paintings are protected by glass barriers.
翻译:王后谷(应该称为王后和王子谷)只有四座陵墓开放。其中最生动、最美丽的陵墓,不仅在王后谷,而且在国王谷,是奈菲尔塔利陵墓,需要支付一大笔额外费用才能参观,而且您只能参观 10 分钟,尽管时间上有一些余地。如果您负担得起并且行动迅速,那么这是值得的。其他三座陵墓似乎可以追溯到拉美西斯三世时期,规模较小,不那么壮观,但仍然值得一看,特别是因为它们包含在门票价格中。王后谷的游客比国王谷少,所以你永远不会感到拥挤,参观只需一个小时左右。
QV 66 奈菲尔塔利。我们到达时,奈菲尔塔利陵墓目前人不多,所以我们先看到了它,在某种程度上,它破坏了我们对王后谷其他陵墓的兴致(尽管我们克服了这一点)。这是一座大墓穴。走下楼梯,进入一个带有一个侧室的墓室,然后再走下更多的楼梯,进入一个 8 x 10 米的墓室,里面有四根柱子和三个对称的侧室。彩绘石膏上的奈菲尔塔利和各种神灵的画像色彩鲜艳、生动,保存完好。天花板上有黑底星星图案。木制楼梯和地板已经铺好,但你和画作之间没有玻璃。然而,参观这座神庙有 10 分钟的时间限制,所以你必须快速行动!现在允许拍照,所以我尽可能快地拍照,这样我才有时间稍后再细细品味。
QV 52 蒂蒂。看过奈菲尔塔利的墓穴后,蒂蒂墓中下沉的石膏浮雕的颜色似乎褪色了,但我们开始欣赏这种差异并欣赏它本身。大多数墙壁都用玻璃板保护,有些地方的石膏已经损坏。天花板上有一个褪色但保存完好的星夜图案。这里有一条走廊,走廊里有侧室、大厅和墓室。
QV 55 Amen Khopshef / Amunherkhepshef。这座陵墓由一个倾斜的入口、两个带侧室的房间(目前不对游客开放)和一个带石棺的墓室组成。拉美西斯三世的儿子十几岁时就去世了,他和父亲一起出现在一些画作中。大面积的凹陷浮雕彩绘石膏有一些鲜艳的颜色。大部分墙壁都受到玻璃屏障的保护。
QV 44 Kha M Waset 或 Khaemwaset。拉美西斯三世的另一个儿子被埋葬在这个走廊式的陵墓中,这个陵墓由一个入口、一个有两个侧室的房间、一个有两个通往任何地方的门的墓室和一个最后的方形墓室组成。Khaemwaset 和他的父亲以及诸神一起出现在凹陷浮雕彩绘石膏的墙上。这些色彩鲜艳的画作受到玻璃屏障的保护。
