The Tomb of Rameses III is really a rather complex system. It was first, partially explored, during modern times by James Bruce in 1768. Later, William Browne gained access to the burial chamber in 1792, and Belzoni removed the sarcophagus and lid, which are now, respectively, in the Louvre and Fitzwilliam Museum. Belzoni named it the “Tomb of the Harpists,” due to a bas relief representation of two blind harpists.However, European travelers often referred to the tomb as “Bruce’s Tomb.” The tomb is beautifully decorated with grand colors that remain vivid.
