Emily or Maria KNOWS when each pharaoh and queen WAS buried.

The pair of verb forms which correctly completes the sentence are knows and was. Option two.

Each is often followed by a prepositional phrase ending in a plural word and as a result it confuses the verb choice. Each is always singular and requires a singular verb.

Example: Each of the students is responsible for studying in order to pass the final exams.
