QV80 is the tomb of (Mut-)Tuya, the Great Royal Wife of Seti I, and the mother of Ramses II, in Egypt's Valley of the Queens.[1]

Lepsius merely makes mention of this tomb. In his list this is tomb number 7.[2] The tomb is listed as unnumbered in Porter and Moss. [3] A more detailed description is given in a report by Demas and Neville for the Getty Conservation Institute.[4]
