=== Tomb 66 in the Valley of the Queens===
{{main|Valley of the Queens| QV66 }}
The tomb of Nefertari, [[QV66]] is one of the largest in the [[Valley of the Queens]]. It is 520 square meters, and covered with pictures of Nefertari. Her husband, the pharaoh, is not represented in any of the pictures. Nefertari can be seen wearing Greek silver earrings with a [[labrys]] design in one of the portraits. These would have been sent to her as a gift for diplomatic reasons.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Kelder |first1=Jorrit M. |title=Royal Gift Exchange between Mycenae and Egypt: Olives as "Greeting Gifts" in the Late Bronze Age Eastern Mediterranean |journal=American Journal of Archaeology |date=2009 |volume=113 |issue=3 |pages=339–352 |doi=10.3764/aja.113.3.339 |jstor=20627592 |s2cid=163562384 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/20627592 |issn=0002-9114}}</ref> The tomb was robbed in antiquity. In 1904 it was rediscovered and excavated by [[Ernesto Schiaparelli]].<ref name="TyldesleyQueens"/> Several items from the tomb that were overlooked by the tomb robbers, including parts of gold bracelets, shabti figures and a small piece of an earring or pendant are now in the [[Boston Museum of Fine Arts]]. Additional shabti figures are in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.<ref name="KitchenRI-2"/>

It was reported that a pair of mummified legs found in QV66 and now at the [[Museo Egizio]] of [[Turin]] may indeed be Nefertari's based on the bone structure and the age of the person, which fits the profile of Nefertari.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Queen Nefertari, the Royal Spouse of Pharaoh Ramses II: A Multidisciplinary Investigation of the Mummified Remains Found in Her Tomb (QV66)|journal=PLOS ONE|volume=11|issue=11|pages=e0166571|date=November 30, 2016|doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0166571|pmid=27902731|last1=Habicht|first1=Michael E.|last2=Bianucci|first2=Raffaella|last3=Buckley|first3=Stephen A.|last4=Fletcher|first4=Joann|last5=Bouwman|first5=Abigail S.|last6=Öhrström|first6=Lena M.|last7=Seiler|first7=Roger|last8=Galassi|first8=Francesco M.|last9=Hajdas|first9=Irka|last10=Vassilika|first10=Eleni|last11=Böni|first11=Thomas|last12=Henneberg|first12=Maciej|last13=Rühli|first13=Frank J.|pmc=5130223|bibcode=2016PLoSO..1166571H |doi-access=free}}</ref>
