What do you know about..?
With the discovery of a new chamber in 2006 , and the discovery of two further tombs in 2008, the valley is known to contain 63 tombs and chambers. It was the burial place of the major royal figures of the New Kingdom, together with those of the wealthiest nobles. The royal tombs are decorated with magnificent scenes from Egyptian mythology which give clues to the beliefs and funerary rituals of the period. Almost all of the tombs were robbed in antiquity, but they still give an impression of the opulence and power of Egypt’s pharaohs. It was also here that in 1922 Howard Carter discovered the legendary tomb of Tutankhamun.

Two enormous statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III reaching a height of 18 metres (60 feet) and weighing 720 tons each. Their original duty was to stand guard at the entrance of Amenhotep’s memorial temple who was worshipped as a sun god on earth even during his lifetime.
In Roman times one of the statues was believed to emit a singing or whistling sound at dawn and such was its’ fame that several Roman Emperor’s visited Luxor to see the Colossi with the hope that hearing the legendary whistle would bring them good luck.
