He was successful for a lot longer than you’d think. He even removed her statues and name from her burial complex. Reference to her was eventually found on broken statuary/pillar material, etc used as fill on ther buildings.
Dr. Hawi Zawiss [?] recently found her mummy in a cave with several others in the Valley of the Queens [Kings?].
