Luxor: Nơi yên nghỉ của các pharaoh

The Valley of the Kings, a historic burial site in Luxor, where Egypt's New Kingdom pharaohs were laid to rest. 

This necropolis features complex tomb designs with false doors and intricate layouts intended to deter robbers. Richly decorated with scenes from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the tombs were designed to guide kings through the afterlife. The discovery of Tutankhamun's nearly intact tomb in 1922 by Howard Carter brought global attention to this site, sparking a renewed fascination with Egyptology.
