I am not finished yet on these tombs haha .. They are fascinating . I bought a book on the Valley of the Kings at the Luxor Museum on the tombs . We only managed to visit 4 tombs but there were other tombs open to the public but for extra fees.
We visited this tomb after Rameses IV . This tomb was a bit different and I could not find the explanation about this tomb in my book that I bought. The book is a thin book because I do not want to lug heavy books in my luggage .
The entrance into the tomb











To think of it , this is visiting graves with the bodies not there . I need to read more on ancient Egypt because the choronological sequence of kings and the fact that I am completely bemused on the history of the many kings of Ancient Egypt . I am also finding it difficult to get my head around on the 4000-5000 years ago thingy .
Also, that was writing existing in the form of heliogrpyhics is mind boggling as this is like 4 000 years ago . Our Malay Sultans are illiterate ( buta huruf) and had to have writers / middlemen ( like Munshi Abdullah ) while the ancient egyptians had already a written language .
The tombs are just amazing !!
