Therefore in this essay you will focus on the monuments of the pharaohs, treasures and pharaohs, plus Valley of the Kings now.

        Have you ever wondered about the tombs of the pharaohs? Valley of the Kings lies on the heart of Egypt on the west bank of Thebes. Valley of the Kings had a lot of secrets, for example the people who visit Egypt didn’t know about Valley of the Kings until 1922. The Egyptian’s kept this secret for about 10 to 20 years. The monuments of the New Kingdom pharaohs lie across the Nile, Luxor. The Nile was practically life for the Egyptians so it would make sense that they would burry their rulers in Egypt would want to be buried next to the Nile. For example if you were dead and you would want the people to put you on a wonderful place the Nile would be the best choice. Valley of the Kings contains a lot of monuments of the pharaohs. One of the biggest tombs that lies on Valley of the Kings is Ramses the II. Maybe he has the biggest tomb because he was the most important Pharaohs of all the pharaohs.  
 
            Have you ever wondered what’s inside the monuments of the pharaohs? Valley of the Kings contains a lot of riches inside the pharaoh’s tombs, including the owners of the tombs (pharaohs). There was also enough food, water , beer ,and wine for them for the Afterlife .  The pharaohs trusted their monuments because they hid their sacred tombs. The pharaoh were clever, once they hid their tombs they put a secrete chamber to put their self and their riches. Why? They were to afraid that a thief would steel their gold. That’s why now in days the pharaohs from the New kingdom !!!!!!!! The Egyptians belied that you die you would just go to the next step of living ;they would go to the  afterlife.  The New Kingdom pharaohs had more riches than any other pharaoh. This is because the New Kingdom pharaohs were the stronger leaders. The Valley of the Kings had the most famous pharaohs hidden. For example Hatshepsut was called the lost Queen because she wasn’t found until 2007.When suddenly the most famous Egyptologist found Valley of the Kings. He not only found the Valley of the Kings, but spotted King Tut’s royal tomb. It took years for them to find the royal tomb; they found it in November 1922. That’s when the world saw their first royal mummy. Therefore Valley of the Kings has a lot of riches and pharaohs buried there.

                                            In conclusion me and my pair learned a lot about Ancient Egypt and pharaohs, riches, and plus the Pharaohs tomb. The pharaohs that we introduce today were the most worship pharaoh of Egypt. Overall that Valley of the Kings is the resting home for Hatshepsut, Tut, and Ramses the II, and the Gold was the most important thing to put in the rulers tomb.
