This paper offers new insights into the worship of Ptah of the Place of Beauty in Thebes by analysing a range of evidence, including tomb scenes, graffiti, stelae, ostraca, and other resources. It aims to provide a better understanding of the development of the cult of this local Theban form of Ptah, as well as his iconography, cult centre(s), and his worshippers. In addition, the article investigates the connection between Ptah of the Place of Beauty and the Valley of the Queens and explores whether the rock-cut chapels between Deir el-Medina and the Valley of the Queens could be considered as the cult centre of Ptah of the Place of Beauty, as proposed by Bruyère
