- "Here lies those
Who know more than earth and sun, sand and rain.
Disturb them not,
Lest they summon ba and ka and rise
To take vengeance upon you." - ―Inscription on a wall outside Nefertiti's tomb.[src]
The Tomb of Queen Nefertiti was a tomb in the Valley of the Kings which served as the burial site of Nefertiti, the queen and consort of Akhenaten. It was connected to the tomb of Tutankhamun.
Around 38 BCE, the tomb was raided by a group of tomb robbers including Irsu, who stole a relic belonging to Nefertiti. This action supposedly released a "curse" which plagued Thebes and the surrounding region, though in reality, it was a projection made by an Apple of Eden in Isidora's possession.[1]
Sometime later, the Hidden One Bayek of Siwa visited the tomb after obtaining the relic from Irsu's nephew, Sutekh. Within Nefertiti's burial chamber, Bayek found and travelled through a portal guarded by several warriors of Anubis before finding himself in Aaru.[2]
