Egyptian Royalty. The Great Royal Wife and the Lady of Two Lands under Ramses I, widely regarded as the founder of the 19th Dynasty. She was the mother of his heir, Seti I. Because of Ramses' brief two year reign, little is known of him or his queen. Sitre's tomb did set a new precedent by being situated in the Valley of the Queens on the West Bank rather than in a secondary chamber in the pharaoh's tomb. Her tomb, however, was unfinished. Only a few paintings decorated the walls of the first chamber.
