Valley Of The Kings

The Valley of the Kings is an archaeological site in Egypt where rock-cut tombs were excavated for pharaohs and nobles from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties. It is located on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes, and contains 65 tombs and chambers, including the famous tomb of Tutankhamun. The tombs are decorated with traditional scenes from Egyptian mythology and reveal clues to the period's funerary practices and afterlife beliefs. The area has been a focus for Egyptologists and archaeological exploration since the 18th century and is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.learn more on wikipedia
