Let's explore one of the most astonishing burial grounds - the Valley of the Kings in Luxor. Located in Upper Egypt on the western bank of the Nile, opposite the ancient city of Thebes/Memphis, the ancient cemetery is surrounded by high cliffs with pyramid-like shaped peaks. The place became famous in 1922 when Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun - the boy pharaoh, but it was only one of more than 60 tombs in the Valley of the Kings. The members of the highest Egyptian society of the New Kingdom (the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasty) were interred here: pharaohs, queens, high priests, and nobles.
Today we’ll focus on the 20th dynasty that is mainly known for Ramesses III (successor of two Great Pharaohs: Ramasses the Great and Sety I). Last time we were inside the tombs of the great pharaohs: Ramesses I, Merenptah, Sety II, and the last female pharaoh Tausert/Twosret. Join me today and explore the tombs of Ramesses III, Ramasses V and Ramses VI, as well as Ramesses VII, and Ramesses IX. After watching this video, you’ll know why the 20th dynasty is also known as the Ramesside period. Let’s admire beautiful carvings and paintings depicting main Egyptian gods like Osiris, Isis, Anubis, or Horus as well as scenes from the ancient Egyptian funerary texts.
Let’s get to know more about the ancient history, beliefs, and architecture of this wonderful place!
