The walls of Queen Nefertari's tomb has two basic types of decorative wall painting. Scenes of the Queen facing the gods and goddesses and other scenes showing images and magical texts from the famous Book of the Dead The most common examples portray Nefertari interacting with Egyptian gods, often those connected with their beliefs about the afterlife. Often she offers food, drinks, incense, or other gifts. This imagery is similar to the decoration in temples where Pharaoh himself performs these offering rituals. The tomb images reflect Nefertari's privilege, influence, and favor with her husband Ramesses II who made this tomb for his wife. She also worshiped the gods in scenes from the temple Ramesses built for her at Abu Simbel in ancient Nubia Pictures 1 Nefertari worshiping the ibis-headed god Thoth 2 the falcon headed god Horus leads the Queen holding her hand 3 She makes food and wine offerings to the goddess Hathor 4 from her temple at Abu Simbel, a wall carving shows Nefertari worshiping the goddess Anuket who has a crown of ostrich feathers #Egypt #archaeohistories
