The Qurna Queen was an ancient Egyptian woman who lived in the Seventeenth Dynasty of Egypt, around 1600 BC to 1500 BC, whose mummy is now in the National Museum of Scotland.[1] She was in her late teens or early twenties at the time of her death, and her mummy and coffin were found in El-Kohr, near the Valley of the Kings.[1] Damage to her coffin (probably caused by another coffin being placed on top of it) means that her name has been lost.[1] The quality of the grave goods and the location of the burial have been used to argue that the inhabitant of the grave was a member of the royal family.[2] If this is the case, it would mean that the site's mummies, coffins and grave goods would make up the only complete royal burial exported from Egypt in its entirety.[3]
