This is really cool. The entrance is so nondescript. I wonder if 1/ there was stuff above ground and it was wrecked over time, or 2/ they just didn’t build as much up there because they thought it would get wrecked over time

The entrance was added in the 1920s there was nothing above ground these weren't monuments like the pyramids they were hidden tombs. Both the valley of the kings and valley of the queens were non nondescript above ground to hide them from tomb robbers, didn't work for any of them except King Tut

Looks amazing. I'd want a bit longer in there for the money though to really appreciate it all.

You can visit it in VR - there is a free app in steam called ‚Nefertari: Journey to Eternity‘

According to the video she died around the 20th year of Ramses’ reign.

So probably not!
