      This is Egypt's Valley of the 
      Kings -- the land of the dead pharaohs,
      on the western side of the  
      Nile 
      River across from Luxor. Most
      of the tombs of the New Kingdom are found 
      here. Probably the
      most famous is the relatively small one of Tutankhamon. 
      The top of the mountain is shaped like a pyramid.  |
