Description

The so-called Galarza Tomb is a large rock-cut on the Central Field at Giza, excavated by George Daressy in 1910, and the project funded by the Spanish Count Galarza. The tomb featured two queens with the name Khamerernebty, one the daughter of the other. The fragmentary statues and statue pieces from this early excavation have left open many questions about the identity of the persons represented.
