For centuries, the tombs remained in stable environmental conditions, but recent excavations have accelerated their deterioration. Climate change, with rising temperatures and humidity, has further exacerbated the issue.
This research evaluates the impact of future climate scenarios on the preservation of these tombs through a combination of analytical modeling and in-situ measurements. Climate projections for 2030, 2050, and 2100 were used to simulate indoor environmental conditions with software like Design Builder, Energy Plus, and Dialux Evo. Data from monitoring campaigns helped validate these models.
The study concludes that preservation efforts should focus on minimizing fluctuations in relative humidity and UV radiation within the tombs to ensure their long-term conservation.

Located on the western side of the Nile, opposite Elephantine Island, the architectural design of these tombs differed greatly from that of the Old Kingdom with elongated spaces around these axes in relation to the solar cycle. As architecture, was excavated from the landscape itself, the presence of the sun was decisive in letting light in through the single doorway, which acted as a transitional threshold to project the sunlight indoors. Funerary complex No.33 followed the longitudinal direction of the intersolstice axis. This important architectural construction of the necropolis reflects the evolution of a typical Upper Egyptian funerary model during the Middle Kingdom. Analysis of the illumination of the architectural space throughout the year confirms that the continuous movement of the sun during its cycle can be observed inside. The starting point of this analysis, is these spatial results, aiming to find an explanation for the geometric composition and specific design of the different architectural elements which make this a rounded, beautiful and harmonious complex. The QH33 funerary complex was built following very specific planning, which reworked and refined a model of a community which aimed to connect the celestial geometry to the geographical landscape through this architecture.

Con el racionalismo moderno, la escisión entre sujeto y objeto motivó el abandono progresivo de estos valores inherentes a estos enclaves. A partir de un conjunto de ejemplos se propone una reflexión sobre los valores intangibles e inmateriales ligados a espacios que a lo largo de la historia han sido el centro de prácticas discursivas y ritos simbólicos. Trascendiendo la configuración material arquitectónica han quedado incorporados como componentes inseparables del concepto de patrimonio. Estas cualidades intangibles deben ser consideradas en los procesos de rehabilitación y puesta en valor de manera que prevalezca la identidad social mediante su adaptación a cada época, independientemente de la alternancia sucesiva de culturas a lo largo de su historia.
