The valley of the kings is a magnificent valley in Egypt, located west of the Nile river. The valley contains many tombs of the pharaoh of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt.
Tuthmosis I was the First pharoah to be buried here, and it was his idea to create the valley. Other pharaohs such as Tutankhamun, seti I, and Ramses II, as well as queens, high priests, and other nobles of the 18th, 19th, and20th dynasties all have made the valley of Kings thier final resting place.
All tombs were elaborately stocked with everything that the deceased person might need in the afterlife. The tombs in the valley of kings are well hidden, yet most of them have been robbed of their treasures by tomb robbers. so far, 63 tombs have been discovered.
