Historian A: Dr. Emily Carter – Economic Perspective "Dr. Carter argues that the Valley of the Kings was primarily a reflection of Egypt’s wealth and power during the New Kingdom. She emphasizes the resources dedicated to constructing elaborate tombs as evidence of Egypt’s economic strength. Her view suggests that the scale and grandeur of the tombs were designed to showcase the state’s economic prosperity and control over resources, serving both political and economic purposes."

Historian B: Professor Mark Reynolds – Social Perspective "Professor Reynolds contends that the Valley of the Kings reveals much about Egyptian society and religious beliefs. He emphasizes the personal and spiritual significance of the tombs for the pharaohs and their followers. According to him, the focus was less on wealth and more on the religious importance of ensuring the pharaohs' immortality, reflecting societal values and spiritual beliefs rather than just economic power."
