The ancient Egyptians regarded the east bank of the Nile as a place of life, built temples, and the west bank of the Nile as a place of death, and built mausoleums. The Valley of the Emperors is rightly located on the west bank of the Nile. From the cruise ship, you can take a motorboat to the west bank and drive for 20 minutes. Although the Valley of the Emperors is buried with 64 pharaohs, the entire Valley of the Emperors is much smaller than expected, and it takes 20 minutes to walk back and forth. The pharaoh's chambers were carved into limestone cliffs, and some were still very close to the chambers, far from grand works like the pyramids. The luxury of the ancient emperor's tomb is proportional to the rise and fall of the dynasty, just like the early Tang Dynasty in China, Wu Zetian and Tang Gaozong's joint burial tomb was hollowed out a mountain and built, it can be seen that Egypt's national strength, financial resources and the construction of the Hufu pyramid period are no longer the same. Language. A ticket to the Valley of the Emperors can see three tombs for free, but the larger, more famous tombs are to be paid for separately, such as the most prestigious and legendary tomb of Tutankhamen. We didn't choose Tutankhamen in the end, because the treasures inside were all placed in the Egyptian Museum. Tombs that need to be bought again, we picked the tomb of Ramses VI, said to be the largest in the Valley of the Emperors. The first to go to the tomb of Ramses VI, the space inside this tomb is indeed very large, entering the inside does not feel depressed at all, the murals in the tomb are very beautiful, many murals are still brilliant as new. The coffin of the owner of the tomb is a whole snowflake stone carving, exquisite and unusual, but unfortunately the lid has been damaged by the tomb thief. Among the three tombs that are free to see, the more distinctive is the tomb of Totomos III. The tomb is repaired in the mountains. To enter the tomb room, you need to go up to the mountainside through the narrow tomb path, and then go down to the main tomb room. The murals in the tomb room are monochrome, the pattern is relatively simple, the coffin is also a simple sarcophagus, but strange: the sarcophagus is small, how the sarcophagus is transported in, this is another unsolved mystery on the magical land of Egypt. The Valley of the Emperors banned all photography and photography, and it was said that it could be taken by the point manager, but I never tried.
