Description
The Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings, is a valley in Egypt where, for a period of nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, rock-cut tombs were excavated for the pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom (the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt). It buried the most well-known Egyptian pharaohs including Ramesses II, Hatshepsu. The famous tomb of the golden king Tutankhamun is also located in the valley of the Kings.
