Starting in 2017, the C2 Project of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain) and the Center for the Study of Ancient Egypt (Egypt) has carried out four campaigns in this wadi. Its results let us put into question the validity of the mentioned conception of the valley. Outside of the tomb TT 320, some structures and a cultic area marked by the presence of a torn down monumental effigy, prayers, names of priests and leftovers of offerings have been identified. Common to these elements and others present in the wadi is a rocky step of geological formation but used by humans. The archaeoastronomical observations made in the wadi make it possible to start to understand the reasons for its usage and its relationship to all the identified elements. Tras el descubrimiento de las momias reales en 1881 y la campaña de excavación de Ambrose Lansing en 1920, el Royal Cachette Wadi en Luxor, se ha considerado tradicionalmente un lugar arqueológicamente vacío, fundamentalmente debido a su interpretación desde el mismo momento del descubrimiento como un lugar secreto y de ocultación, que se especifica en la denominación de cachette. Desde 2017, el C2 Project de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid (España) y el Center for the Study of Ancient Egypt (Egipto) ha desarrollado cuatro campañas de trabajo en este wadi. Los resultados permiten disputar la vigencia de la consideración del valle antes mencionada. Se han identificado estructuras en el exterior de la tumba TT 320 y un área de culto definida por la presencia de una efigie monumental destruida, oraciones, nombres de sacerdotes y restos de ofrendas. Un elemento común a estos elementos y a otros presentes en el wadi es un escalón rocoso de origen geológico pero utilizado por seres humanos. Las observaciones arqueoastronómicas realizadas en el wadi permiten comenzar a comprender las razones de ese uso y su relación con el conjunto de elementos identificados. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/13739 10.34096/rihao.n24.13739 spa Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/13739/12201 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/13739/12282 Revista del Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental 'Dr. Abraham Rosenvasser'; Núm. 24 (2023) 2683-9660 0325-1209 archaeology cachette royal mummies Luxor arqueología cachette momias reales Luxor The Forgotten Valley.
