Near Luxor, Egypt is the Valley of the Kings where a lot of pharaohs were buried in tombs carved into the mountains. One pharaoh was King Tut.
Got to see his tomb with his mummy and tombs of three more pharaohs. The painted figures on the walls and ceilings were still incredibly colorful even after thousands of years.
There were a few women rulers in ancient Egypt and Hatshepsut was one. These are photos of her tomb.
And this is the tomb of King Tut. His importance is overblown. He was a boy king who didn’t accomplish anything. His claim to fame is the fact that his tomb was discovered intact while most, if not all, of other pharaoh’s tombs had been broken into and looted.
On a scale of 1 to 10 Egyptologists rate King Tut as a 1. That’s what our guide said and she’s a Egyptologist, one who studies the ancient Egyptians.
We’re cruising up the Nile on a boat similar to the one in this photo except our boat is better because we caught and passed it. Take that white boat.
We’re heading up river to Aswan but won’t be there until Thurday.
