The tomb described on O. BM 8505 is generally believed to be KV 16, tomb of Ramses I. However, a precise reconstruction of the architectural elements described by the text and comparison with the modern surveys carried out by the Theban Mapping Project in the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens suggest instead that the tomb described on this ostracon is QV 51, tomb of queen Isis, built under Ramses VI.

Abstract

The tomb described on O. BM 8505 is generally believed to be KV 16, tomb of Ramses I. However, a precise reconstruction of the architectural elements described by the text and comparison with the modern surveys carried out by the Theban Mapping Project in the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens suggest instead that the tomb described on this ostracon is QV 51, tomb of queen Isis, built under Ramses VI.
