Valley of the Kings

waiting to view a tomb

Most of the tombs were cut into the limestone following a similar pattern:

three corridors, an antechamber and a sunken sarcophagus chamber. These catacombs were harder to rob and were more easily concealed. The switch to burying the pharaohs within the valley instead of pyramids, was intended to safeguard against tomb robbers.
