Famous attractions in Egypt: Valley of the Kings, suitable for taking photos📸

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Valley of the Kings is located in the Thebes region (now Luxor) on the west bank of the Nile River in Egypt. It is the cemetery of pharaohs and nobles during the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt (1550-1070 BC). The Valley of the Kings is famous for its numerous tombs and rich historical heritage. One of the most famous discoveries is the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. The main open tombs in the Valley of the Kings are: 1. Funeral Hall of Ramses III: There are reliefs showing the deeds of Ramses III: conquering enemies, hunting wild bulls, etc. In the second courtyard there is a colonnade room consisting of 24 stone columns, with brightly colored reliefs preserved on the top. 2. Amenhotep II (18th Dynasty): The two pillars in the Sanxiang Tomb Chamber are painted with Osiris, Anubis, Hathor, Horus and Amenhotep II. 3. Tutankhamun (18th Dynasty): The pharaoh's mummy is still placed in the tomb. On the front wall of the tomb are paintings of King Tutankhamun appearing in the image of the god Osiris, and his successor King Ay.
