It graves, which is the kings and queens modern state Bnanha underground rock in this valley to be safe from tampering thieves .. It consists of several rooms and driving a burial chamber. Out of the sixty two tombs known to this day in the Valley of the Kings, only about twenty actually sheltered pharaohs : indeed, many were abandoned because the workmen came up against unsuitable rock formations. Some were only undecorated corridors with little rooms in the back, while others were used for various members of the royal family. Among the royal tombs, fifteen are generally open to the public even though several of them may temporarily be closed for restoration works, rendered increasingly necessary both by the influx of a considerable crowd of tourists upsetting by their very presence The most important of these graves Cemetery Tutankhamen [[it needs extra ticket to enter other than the ticket that you get for main 3 tombs.the cost of the ticket is 70LE until the date i write this tip]] Cemetery Ramses III City cemetery first Cemetery Ramses VI Mcypr Amnanb II Cemetery Hormahb Cemetery Thutmose III

the most important tomb is the one of queen Nefertari the wife of king Ramsis the second. Nefertari Meri-en-mut (a name meaning “the Lovely One, Beloved of Mut”) most probably married the great pharaoh Ramesses II before he mounted the throne and she held a position altogether peculiar and unequalled in the history of Egypt. Numerous epithets define her as the “sweet of love”, the “pretty – looking”, the “rich in charm”. This leading role, compared with the other numberless wives of pharaohs, is confirmed by the fact that she was always in Ramesses’ retinue, not only during civil and religious ceremonies, but even in the course of important journeys, like the one made to Nubia in the year 24 of his reign (around 1255 BC), on the occasion of the inauguration of the little temple of abu Simbel dedicated to the goddess hathor and to Nefertari herself: the queen is represented in large statues equal in size with those of the pharaoh, an extraordinary fact, considering that generally the wife was shown at the side of the pharaoh hardly coming up to his knee.

Life story of queen Hatshepsut is really interesting!! she was very strong woman and she wasn't really that kind of fair ideal person Queen "Hatshepsut" was the first one to send ships to the country's "Puntland" (Somalia now), so they are loaded and perfumes .. And "Hatshepsut" is the fifth kings of the eighteenth dynasty, which also belongs to the King "Tutankhamen." A daughter "Thutmose I," and wife "Thutmose II," has received the sentence with "Thutmose III," which was the son of one of her husband Gariaat, at the same time, her daughter's husband, and remained until her death in 1484 BC holding the reins of government, the ruling was over cogens her life, and deported "Thutmose III" from power, it was not described to him in the Governing Although she was a female had represented itself in the form of statues man has been flat without breasts, and has borrowed to live. Having died liberation "Thutmose III" from the trusteeship of heavy, and I like to retaliate against them Vatm construction of the temple, and the proportion of the same, and the name and crush most forms excavated and icons, and a place name and his titles in many quarters (please look the pictures i put inside) The design and implementation of building the temple Engineer "die" QC and one close to it. It belongs to a family of modest "Armant" but became the first president to acknowledge reception of the royal family, and the President receiving machine "Amon", and is in charge of all construction, so it made the greatest professional successes in the history of ancient Egypt.
