	Queen Nebettawy Lady of The Two Lands (nbt-t3wy) Great King’s Wife (hmt-niswt-wrt) Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt (hnwt-Shm’w -mhw) King’s Daughter (s3t-niswt) King’s Daughter of his body, his beloved (s3t-niswt-nt-kht.f-mryt.f) Nebettawy was a daughter of Ramses II. It is possible that she was a daughter of one of the principal queens: Queen Isetnofret or Queen Nefertari. She is never clearly associated with either one though. Nebettawy became Queen in her own right later in Ramesses II's reign: in the third or fourth decade of his reign. QV60 - Queen Nebettawy's tomb in the Valley of the Queens This tomb was transformed into a chapel during the Coptic period. On the left wall of the first chamber 41 judges are depicted, each with a feather on their head. Nebettawy is shown offering a statue of Maat to a seated figure whose headdress is topped with two feathers. In the second chamber Nebettawy is shown before Horus and here she has the most elaborate titles: The Osiris, the King's Daughter, Great Royal Wife, Lady of the Two Lands, Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt. In one of the scenes Nebettawy wears a rather special headdress: a vulture crown with uraeus, topped by a modius and supporting a number of flowers. This specific headdress is only attested for Queen Nebettawy, Queen Isis (QV51 - time of Ramesses III-IV) and Queen Tyti (QV52 - 20th dynasty). (van Sicklen: A Ramesside Ostracon of Queen Isis; Journal of Near Eastern Studies 1974). An earlier version of this crown was worn by Princess-Queen Sitamen, the daughter-wife of Amenhotep III. Queen Nebettawy before the god Horus. Based on a Lepsius drawing. Abt. III, Band 6, Bl 172 Abu Simbel Facade of the Great temple. On second southern colossus Nebettawy is depicted in the regalia of a queen. Nebettawy shown with a cap wig, a fairly simple modius and the double plumes. Bint-Anath (also dressed as a queen) stands by the left leg of the second southern colossus, Nebettawy by the right leg, and an unknown princess stands in front of the colossus. Nebettawy is not shown on the smaller temple of Abu Simbel. Nefertari is shown with Meytamen and Henuttawy on the facade of this temple.
