A highlight of Egypt is visiting the tombs in the Valley of the Kings.   After the pyramid tombs of the early kingdom were robbed, over and over,  the kings of the new kingdom decided to try another tactic and hide their burial places to keep them intact.   They searched for a location in the desert, desolate and dry to protect their precious it

ems and preserve their bodies for the next life.  They choose the location under a mountain that looks like a pyramid

We saw 4 tombs,  the first and most famous,  that of Tutankhamon

Ramses IX, a very colorful tomb as well,  still bright colors after 3300 years

The most amazing was the tomb of Seti I

The last was tomb of Tutmosis III
