Nefertari

Nefertari, the favorite wife of Ramses II, was buried about 3,200 years ago in the most exquisitely decorated tomb in the Upper Egypt. The tomb was discovered by Ernesto Schiaparelli, an Italian archeologist, in 1904. After the discovery, its wall paintings deteriorated at a very fast rate. In fact, comparisons of historical photographs from 1904 to the present reveal that the tomb deteriorated to an alarming extent before emergency conservation began in 1987.
