Valley Of Kings; Thebes Egypt

Valley Of The Kings Egypt
The Valley Of The Kings is the royal necropolis known in ancient times as "the Place Of Truth." It is located on the Western Bank with the Mountain Of Thebes providing a natural pyramid in the background. Very few of the tombs are open to the public and the ones that are open are only open on a rotating annual basis to avoid extensive damage from the frequent tourist viewing and restoration work to be done. The tombs were hune out of solid limestone and flint rock.

We traveled by bus to a visitor center and then we were transported by tram to the walkways that led up to the tombs. George was not allowed to use his camera to photograph the inside of the area. The officer in charge of the area wanted an expensive bribe, so George improvised!
