QV80 is the tomb of (Mut-)Tuya, the Great Royal Wife of Seti I, and the mother of Ramses II, in Egypt's Valley of the Queens.[1]
Lepsius merely makes mention of this tomb. In his list this is tomb number 7.[2] The tomb is listed as unnumbered in Porter and Moss. A more detailed description is given in a report by Demas and Neville for the Getty Conservation Institute.[3]
The tomb is located to the west of QV66, the tomb of Nefertari.[4] It is thought that Tuya died around year 22 of the reign of her son Ramesses II.[3] This estimate is based on the find of a jar docket dated to year 22 of Ramesses II. The inscription reads:
Year 22: Wine, [...] of the Great Vineyard of A[... of the ] King of South and North Egypt, Usermaatre Setepenre, L.P.H., in the Estate of Amun, [...] [5]
The painted scenes are not well preserved due to later use of the tomb. Several objects, including the head of one of the canopic jars, fragments of a sarcophagus and parts of ushabtis were found in the tomb.[3]
The tomb was reused during the Third Intermediate period and possibly the Ptolemaic and Coptic Periods.[3]
