A panaromic view of the valley of Kings

A panaromic view of the valley of Kings

No one can halt a thief from stealing but the ancient egyptians thought they can and dug out caves in these mountains that looked like pyramids and buried their God kings in them in the belief that their bodies will remain intact till resurrection. There are over 18 tombs in this valley of kings and the tomb of the famous boy pharaoh Tutankhamun is also located here.
