Valley of the Kings

It is easy to understand why the Valley of the Kings was not discovered until the 1800's.  It was located over the mountain ridge and in a secluded valley.  The Valley of the Kings holds over sixty-two excavated tombs.  Not all of the tombs were royal.  The earliest tombs of such kings as Thutmose I, Rameses XI, Rameses II, and Tutankhamun were found.
