Are Kings Buried In The Valley of the Kings?

The Egyptians did build mighty pyramids to make the pharaohs’ era memorable, but some other hidden mausoleums were also made in that era. One of the most famous of these mausoleums is the Valley of the Kings. This is located near Luxor, an ancient city of Egypt to the west of the river Nile. These tombs contain evidences of a hefty preparation for the life in the world after death. A colossal amount of treasures and clothes were stacked in such tombs to help the dead royalty in the other world. The bodies of the dead were preserved by the process of mummification. The first mummy to form a part of an exhibit in a museum was the Ginger. It was dug out in the later years of the 19th century, and is on display at the British Museum. It is believed to belong to the era of 3400 BC.
