Virtual Tour (360 photo)Tomb of Nefertari.
Nefertari Tomb located at the Valley of the Queens, West Bank of Luxor and referred to as QV66. Nefertari’s tomb is among the most spectacular, lavishly and beautifully decorated tombs in Egypt. The tomb was first discovered in 1904 by Ernesto Schiaparelli. It is called the Sistine Chapel of Ancient Egypt.

The tomb was constructed in a style similar to that of Seti I and Merenptah in the Valley of the Kings where the tomb descends by way of a long stepped corridor into a large pillared burial chamber. In the case of Nefertari, the corridor essentially divides the tomb space into two with the antechamber and adjoining room providing one set of decoration and the burial chamber another.

The conception of death for the Egyptians was linked with regeneration and rebirth, primarily in two forms, one following the rising and setting of the sun cyclically and the other linked to a rebirth in the afterlife through the body of Osiris.

The tomb of Nefertari illustrates both of these concepts of rebirth through the choice of deities (Osiris and Isis are often represented but so are Ra-Harakty, Atum, etc.) and her choice of texts from the Book of the Dead found inside the tomb. The queen always appears by herself in her tomb without her husband Rameses II. Likewise, her skin is almost always painted in more masculine reddish tones rather than the typical female yellow, which suggests that by adopting typically male, attributes, she was able to become Osiris and complete her transformation into the afterlife

It is shown in this a very rare photograph from the 1860s, the dark stone church contrasting with timber-framed houses from the 1600s that cluster around it. St Edmund's, or St Edmund on the Bridge, actually stood on the medieval Exe Bridge, as did the timber-framed houses, their sagging galleries and upper floors supported by a network of wooden timbers springing out from the stone arches of the bridge itself. Can be found in Exeter, Devon, England.

Neanderthals were the initial inhabitants of Robin Hood Cave, making it their home until about 40,000 years ago. They crafted hand axes and scrapers from materials like flint, quartzite, and clay-ironstone to adapt to the Ice Age grasslands.
Later, Homo sapiens took up residence in the cave approximately 22,000 years ago, continuing through the end of the Ice Age and afterward. This later group of humans left behind a diverse collection of tools, remains of butchered animals, and notably, an exquisitely engraved horse’s head on a fragment of horse rib bone.
The cave can be found at Creswell Crags which is a secluded limestone ravine located on the boundary between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, England, close to the villages of Creswell and Whitwell.
