I think it might be the last resting place of King Hatshepsut III...

I think it might be the last resting place of King Hatshepsut III...

Actually, it looks like a Westerner copied various kanji ... but mean absolutely nothing when strung together:

大宀大宗定 [or 正] 當 [or 甞]

Hatshepsut was a "she", a queen thus.

She was also not a IIIrd...
I was kidding (alluding to the inaccuracy), but well spotted!

Cheers,
Bob
