Remote and barren Valley of the kings was the necropolis of the Pharaonic New Kingdom. All the pharaohs, starting with Thutmose I, built a tomb in the depth of the Theban hills, hoping to avoid the robbery of tombs with treasures. But not were only robbed the tomb of Wii and TUI, as well as the tomb of Tutankhamun. Last – the most famous of the 62 tombs in the valley of the kings was discovered in 1922 by English archaeologist Howard Carter. Scientists were amazed by the treasures found in Tutankhamun's tomb. A significant part was found there items made of pure gold, including the tomb of the Pharaoh. The tomb itself, as opposed to its content, was very modest, perhaps because it was constructed hastily by the sudden death of the Pharaoh.
