Rameses III was the last of the great Pharaohs on the throne of Egypt and the second Pharoah of the Twentieth Dynasty after his father Setnakhte, The New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt.
Pharoah Ramses III is well known for his domestic building program, a consolidation of law and order. His reign marked the beginning of the decline of Ancient Egyptian civilization greatness.
However, starting with the 5th year of his reign, he had to fight the Sea People, Libyans, and the Hittites Empire. His great and remarkably well-preserved Medinat Habu temple is still one of the top Luxor tourist attractions. Besides, his tomb in the Valley of the Kings, KV11 is one of the best things to do in Luxor and a perfect example for a Pharaonic Tombs.
Who is the discoverer of the tomb of Rameses III KV11?
James Bruce was the first European traveler to enter this tomb in 1768 but it has been known since antiquity. Later, in 1792, William Browne reached the burial chamber for the first time and Belzoni removed the sarcophagus and lid. Belzoni named it the “Tomb of the Harpists”, due to a bas-relief representation of two blind harpists. However, European travelers often referred to the tomb as “Bruce’s Tomb”.
