The Valley of the Kings in Luxor West (Thebes) was a necropolis in Ancient Egypt. In ancient Egyptian terms, the Valley of the Kings was called Sechet-aat (the great field).
It is the largest burial place of the Egyptian pharaohs. In the Valley of the Kings, in particular, the tombs of the rulers of the new empire can be found. The valley is located in Thebes-West, opposite Karnak on the edge of the desert and is lined with high mountains. Despite thousands of years of activity of excavations and looting, the Valley of the Kings still provides Egyptologists with numerous highly valuable grave finds. In 1922, the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered largely unscathed by Howard Carter. The first clearly identified tomb in the Valley of the Kings comes from the pharaoh Thutmosis I. With Napoleon's expedition to Egypt, the systematic search and opening of tombs began. In the Valley of the Kings you will visit three tombs.
The Colossi of Memnon are two colossal statues from the 14th century BC standing side by side. They are located in the Nile Valley not far from the Valley of the Kings in Thebes-West.
The quartzite statues represent King Amenhotep III sitting on a throne.
The statues are still about 18 meters high today, including the pedestal.
the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut dates back to the 18th dynasty and is the best preserved temple in Thebes on the west bank of the Nile.
The entire temple complex was built of limestone. Within about 15 years, from the 7th to the 22 years of queen Hatshepsut's reign, this temple was built. The temple has its own idiosyncratic architecture.
