Our
project was developed since 2011 and officially founded in 2016, its
main objectives being the publication and conservation
of the tomb of Ramesses III in the Valley of the Kings (KV 11).
Since 2017, it holds the concession of the Egyptian Ministry of
Antiquities to study the tomb. The project is officially based at
Humboldt-University of Berlin and cooperates with the universities
of Luxor and Qena. The long-term project combines traditional
philological and archaeological research with more recent methods
such as photogrammetry and virtual reality. Along with continuous
fieldwork, a major focus lies on archival research that allows us to
reconstruct the decoration programme of the tomb. Moreover,
the project follows an interdisciplinary approach, integrating
geological, petrological and hydrological studies in order to develop a
strategy to preserve and protect this important part of the
Egyptian World heritage.
