valley of the kings

It is easy to understand why the Valley of the King was not discovered until 1800. It is located in a ridge and a remote valley far from civilization. There are about 60 excavated tombs in the valley of the royal family, not all of which are tombs of the royal family. Some people belong to the privileged members of the aristocracy and do not have any decoration. The early tomb of Thutmose I had stairs, corridors, right angle corners, the latter king like the grave of Ramses XI was just a huge inclined corridor.

One of the most famous ruins in the New Kingdom is the valley of the royal family. Starting with Pharaoh Tomose I, the Pharaoh of the new kingdom was buried in the Valley of the King for 500 years. The most famous grave in the valley of the royal family is the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamen, its discovery is basically intact. It is full of treasure, art and mummies of Tutankhamen. It was during the reign of Ramses III that the powerful Egyptian empire began to weaken. Ramses III had to fight a lot of fights, including invading the sea people and tribal members from Libya. These wars were linked to serious drought and famine, causing riots in Egypt. In the years since Ramses III died, internal corruption and internal information of the central government became more serious. The last Pharaoh of the New Kingdom was Ramses IX. After his reign, Egypt no longer unite, and the third intermediate stage began.

I did not explore the valley of the royal family, did not complete the trip to Egypt. After the Pyramid of Giza, the valley of the royal family may be the most popular tourist attraction in Egypt. In some great Pharaohs, the funeral home of the Valley of the King, many ancient graves are cut into rocks in the valley. Here we also have the opportunity to explore the tomb of the popular young Pharaoh Tutankhamun and the graves of Ramses and Ramses IV. The protected area of ​​Luxor and Carnac is one of the world's largest religious temples. In the buildings of these temples, which were originally part of the city of Thebes, there are many sacred places, sphinxes, evacuation centers and other ancient buildings. Perhaps the most eye-catching charm in Carnac is Amunra Temple and its popular temple. Each of these huge buildings has a huge pillar of 69 feet each.
