Temple of Hatshepsut (E22/25)

With three massive terraces rise above the desert floor and into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut stands out as one of the most impressive.

Being one of the earlier female ruler, Hatshepsut certainly one of the greatest too.

Visit to Tomb of Rameses IX, KV6 (E21/25)

 

The last tomb that I am visiting before end of my Valley of The King tour is KV6, Tomb of Rameses IX.

KV6 have the widest hallway among all those that I have visited.

Both wall are well decorated.

A larger burial chamber compare to thers too.

Thats the end of my tomb visiting in The Valley of The King. The whole area are yet to fully explore and I am sure more tomb will be discovered in the coming years.

Visit to Tomb of Rameses I , KV16 (E20/25)

 

After KV62 & KV11 the next tomb that I am visiting is KV16.

KV16 was used for the burial of Pharaoh Ramesses I of the 19th Dynasty.

The painted decoration may have suffered from floods and paint has flaked off.

The size of the room seem small and the sarcophagus with its rounded lid occupies a great part of it. 

The very colourful aspect of the walls are in a good state.

Visit to Tomb of Rameses III , KV11 (E19/25)

 

With the entrance ticket to Valley of The King, visitors are allow to visit 3 tombs without extra fees. I opt for KV11, KV16 & KV6 which are with their decorated wall very much all intact.

As compare to KV62, these are much larger and probably are more well planed and constructed.

Nile croccodile are depected many times in here too.

The corridor are much wider here.

Depiction of Nile gods and personifications of harvest at the side chamber along the main corridor.

Is amazing that the colours are still vivid after so many years!
