Endnote 1 - “Place of the Beautiful Ones”

See Christian Leblanc, Ta Set Neferou (Dâr al-Kuttub, 1989), pp. 14–19. Leblanc asserts that the name Ta Set Neferu is more accurately translated “The Place of the Royal Children,” but most of the archaeologically known Ramesside tombs in this valley belonged to women who held the title “great royal wife” (Hmt nswt wrt) and there are no known ancient references to Ta Set Neferou before the 19th Dynasty. Leblanc intends to publish more volumes of Ta Set Neferou in the near future.
