The Valley of the Kings

• 62 royal and private tombs • The first pharaoh was Thutmose I and ended

with Ramesses X• Valley also had tombs for favorite nobles,

wives and children• Some were simple pits, and others were huge

– with over 121 chambers and corridors

The Valley of the Kings• Is where King

Tutankhamen (Tut) is buried

• His Tomb was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter

• This tomb was not disturbed, thus King Tut’s treasures have taught us much about Egyptian burial practices and beliefs.
