[Luxor Valley of the Kings] Ancient Egyptian Royal Tombs, Suitable for Feeling the Culture of Life and Death

The Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt, is located on the west bank of the city of Luxor, which is divided into two halves by the Nile River. When alive, temples and other buildings are located on the east bank, because that is where the sun rises. After death, the royal tombs were built in the desert on the west bank. On the one hand, it symbolizes the setting of the sun, and on the other hand, it is also conducive to better preservation of their tombs and burial objects. Each tomb has a different size, layout and style. Each mural shows the great achievements of each pharaoh in saving money. For the people, for the country, for the gods, all stories are depicted one by one around the tomb passage, which is very meaningful and ornamental. The famous pharaoh Tutankhamun also came from here. His coffin and burial objects are kept in the museum in the capital Cairo, but the body is well preserved in its original place and has not been moved. A very interesting story is that it is said that the reason why his tomb is well preserved is because his tomb is covered by another pharaoh's tomb and hidden underneath, so it is free from the intrusion of tomb robbers. This is a worthwhile attraction to experience the completely different culture of life and death in ancient Egypt. #Egypt #Pharaoh #Mummy #Historical Tomb #Luxor #Valley of the Kings
