Valley of the Kings
Egypt's Valley of the Kings is the resting place for dozens of the ancient rulers of the kingdom of the Nile. It is also the site for the cursed tomb of the most renowned of all Pharaohs, the boy-king Tutankhamun. It is located in Thebes on the West bank of the Nile river.

The Valley of the Kings has more than 80 tombs and crypts, ranging from plain and undecorated bare rooms to the most highly decorated  structures, full of hieroglyphs. Pharaohs buried in the Valley of the Kings are too many to list, but include Seti I, the architect of the incredible temple at Abydos, as well as several of the Rameses, Thuthmoses and Amenhoteps who ruled Egypt in their time.
