The kings of the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth dynasties of the New Kingdom were buried in a dry river valley on the west bank of the ancient city of Thebes (modern Luxor), hence the name Valley of the Kings.
The Valley of the Kings is divided into the eastern and western valleys.
The Valley of the Kings in total includes more than sixty tombs in addition to twenty incomplete tombs, no more than digging.
This site was carefully chosen for the burial of kings; It is located on the west bank of the Nile, because the sun god descends (dies) on the western horizon in order to be reborn, and his youth is renewed in the eastern horizon, and for this reason the West has been associated with funerary concepts
