While most tombs are unidentifiable, there are found inscriptions in this one. Hence they know it belonged to a one named 'Uneishu' brother of Shaqileth, Queen of the Nabataeans. All the tombs in Petra belonged to royalty and the wealthy. It was probably not cheap to carve such massive and grand tombs like these. This could be dubbed as the Nabataean 'valley of the kings' or 'valley of the queens.'
