Introduction to the Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings is a burial ground located on the west bank of the Nile near Luxor. It was used from the 16th to 11th century BCE for the burial of Pharaohs and powerful nobles. The tombs in this valley are famous for their elaborate decoration and the treasures buried with the Pharaohs. The decision to bury Pharaohs here reflected religious beliefs, security concerns, and political stability during the New Kingdom period.
