Ancient Egyptian
Tombs - Tomb of Ramses VII
The Valley of the Kings is a necropolis. A
necropolis is defined as a large cemetery
or burial place near the site of a center of an ancient civilization.
The Valley of the Kings, where the Tomb of Ramses VII was found, is located near the
Ancient Egyptian city of Thebes (now modern-day Luxor). There are 63 tombs which have been discovered
in the Valley of the Kings belonging to
the Pharaohs and
leading dignitaries. Many of the tombs were discovered
by the Egyptian tomb robbers of antiquity but during the 19th and 20th
centuries renewed interest in Egyptology led European Egyptologists to
make further excavations in the Valley of the Kings, hoping to find
undiscovered tombs, complete with
fabulous treasures.
