The Valley of the Kings is the location of some of the world's greatest ancient artifacts:
the tombs of the pharoahs who ruled the Egyptian Empire.
For a period of nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC,
tombs were constructed for the kings and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom
(the Eighteenth through Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt).
