She’s The Only Non-Royal Buried In The Valley Of The Kings

But, archaeologists believe that it was constructed for a high priest’s daughter during the 22nd Dynasty.

It is also thought that Nehmes sang at the Karnak Temple. The Theban high priests at the temple may have used their authority and influence to bury her at a site where royals were laid to rest.

At the time, Nehemes’ tomb was the 64th tomb to be uncovered in the Valley of Kings. It was a completely unexpected discovery, as the archaeologists were not intentionally looking for new tombs.
