The Valley of the Kings is factually the most astonishing burial site of ancient Egypt and perhaps among the richest historical sites all over the world. This amazing site contains numerous marvelously colored and decorated tombs of the kings of the New Kingdom of Egypt.
The ancient Egyptians have tried many methods and ways to protect their tombs from thieves for centuries. However, most of these efforts haven’t achieved the desired outcomes. This is the main reason why they resorted to hiding their tombs in the Theban Mountains. They chose the location of the Valley of the Kings due to the pyramid shape at its top. The Pharaohs believed that the pyramid shape represented power and dignity. It was around the middle of the 16th century BC when the first king was buried in the Valley of the Kings. The site was the main burial place of several New Kingdom kings until the 11th century BC. The kings of the 18th and 20th dynasties were mainly buried in the Valley of the Kings. There are now more than 63 tombs in the Valley of the Kings.
