Other tombs include at The Valley of The Queens .. The last part

QV51 - Tomb of Queen Isis ( or Eset )

Eset or Isis was the wife of Ramses III, and the mother of Ramses VI .

Her tomb is much damaged and is scarcely worth a visit .

One scene shows the queen offering two sistra before Ptah-Sokar-Osiris, while an inscription behind the god states that the tomb " was given by the favour of King Neb-Maet-Rê-Mer-Amûn, Rameses Amûn-neter-heq-On ", which appears to be a version of the titulary of Ramses VI, with the " Khopshef " omitted .

The queen's full name appears to have been Eset-Amasereth, and the second part of the name suggests a Syrian origin, but does not prove it any more than does the name Bant-Anat, of the favourite daughter of Ramses II, prove that the princess was a Syrian .

Passing tombs 50 and 49, which are unnamed, we turn to the right towards another group of royal tombs . Tomb 36, which belongs to an unidentified princess, has once been an attractive piece of work, but is now sorely damaged .

In the inscriptions the titles of the lady have been written in ; but her name has been left blank, a practice not uncommon in the case of trade copies of a funerary papyrus, but rather unusual in that of a tomb, which would scarcely be an instance of mass production as were the funerary papyri .

No. 38 is the tomb of Sitre, the queen of Ramses I and mother of Seti I . The figures of the tomb are only sketched in . No. 40 is the tomb of an unknown princess .

QV42 - Tomb of Prince Pra-hir-unamef

Or Pare-her-wenemef, this prince was a son of Ramses III, perhaps the eldest son ; but he evidently died at an early age . Ramses III, in fact, does not seem to have been lucky in his family life, between the early deaths of so many of his sons, and the harem conspiracy with which his reign closed .

The tomb of Pra-hir-unamef is too much damaged to be of interest . It has a corridor, with a scene of Ramses introducing his son to the gods as in the tombs No. 55 and 44, and a four pillared hall .

QV43 - Tomb of Prince Seth-hir-khopshef

Another of the unlucky sons of Ramses III . It has two long and narrow corridors, where Ramses as usual does the honours of the underworld for his son, whom he introduces to various gods . Then comes a chamber with a collection of genii of the underworld, among whom are to be seen the two apes Fu and Au, who figure elsewhere in this necropolis, for instance, in the tomb of Queen Titi .

The reliefs are all much blackened with smoke, and their colouring has perished .
