A follow-up to Tales of the Nile, this course will look at the extraordinary concentration of temples and tombs near the ancient Egyptian capital, Thebes, with particular focus on the tombs in and around the Valley of Kings. Although Tutankhamen is the most famous king to be buried there, dozens of other tombs once contained mummies of far more consequential pharaohs. Who were these kings and queens? How were their tombs discovered, and what happened to their mummies? We'll follow the saga of discovery and exploration of this remarkable valley.
