Three Pits and Rope

Summarize
Perspective

The following tombs are located in the Valley of the Three Pits, and the Valley of the Rope. Both of these valleys lie north of the main valley, and are associated with the Valley of the Queens. QV92, 93, and 97 are located in the latter of these two, while the former contains the rest. Tombs QVA to QVL in particular belonged to elite officials and members of the royal court during the reign of Thutmose III. These lettered tombs have since become inaccessible due to instability concerns as noted during a survey and documentation study conducted by the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) and the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) between 2006 and 2008.
