The Valley of the Kings: the Great Necropolis of Ancient Egypt

In the depths of the deep rock contour of the modern West Bank of Luxor, there is a series of dry beds in Wadi Bidan el-Muluk, known as the valley of the royal family (Hawass 9). Here, ancient Egyptian workers make a series of graves through the heat of the hot desert that will house their Pharaoh's body. The isolation of this complex river valley, their towering huge building, and detailed colorful decorations depict the importance of the tomb for ancient Egyptians.

In ancient Egypt, black (kem) is a symbol of death and night. Osiris king of the afterlife is known as "the king of the black." Queen Ahmose-Nefertari is the hostess of the cemetery as one of the few realized deities of deified people. She is usually drawn as a black skin, but she is not black. Real hyena and dogs are usually brown, but the preservative God Anubis has been proved to be a black ass or a dog. Black symbolizes death, a symbol of nature in the underworld, and is also a symbol of resurrection. Surprisingly, this may be a symbol of infertility treatment or life! The relationship between life and reproductive power may be due to the richness of black and black silt where the Nile River floods every year. The color of mud has become a symbol of Egypt itself, people in that country were called "Kemet" from ancient times.

About 135 pyramids were discovered in Egypt, the largest of which was the Great Pyramid of Giza (in Egypt and the world). With a site area of ​​over 566,000 square feet, it is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Built in the 4th dynasty, the graveyard of Giza contains the pyramid of Khufu (also known as the Great Pyramid or Pepper Pyramid), Hafra Pyramid and Menka Ure Pyramid, even smaller "Queen" pyramids and Great Sphinx I will. Reclining Sphinx (a mysterious creature with a lion's body and a human head) is located on the Giza plateau in the west of the Nile River. People believe this face means Pharaohahavra. It is the largest and oldest megalithic statue in the world, 241 feet in length, 63 feet in width, and 66.34 feet in height. It was thought to be built between the reign of Pharaoh Hafra (2558 BC to 2532 BC). Because the lion is a symbol related to the sun, it may be the focus of sun worship.

The political structure of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia is different. In ancient Egypt, pharaohs were thought to be representatives of the gods on the earth. Even though ancient Egyptian citizens did not see his face directly in his speech, they believed their pharaohs to be gods (Richards & Van Buren, 2000). Most of the aristocracy appointed as an important position in ancient Egypt was related to Pharaoh. After his death, only one son of Pharaoh could take over. In ancient Mesopotamia, before the King Sargon was declared a king in 2370 BC, society consisted of autonomous regions for the 10th century (Brisch et al., 2008). However, the citizens of Mesopotamia do not consider the king or his heir sacred. In Mesopotamia, most of the scribes are members of the aristocratic family and are irrelevant to the rule of the king.
