The pictures are amazingly sharp and so colourful after so many years
We went to the king’s valley where we visited 4 graves
This is one of the challenges a dead king would face on his/her way, a pit with snakes, no bridge
Osiris
When a king started raining he/she right away would usually start preparing for death by preparing a tomb and a mortuary temple
Some graves took quite a few steps down, guides are not allowed to go in and explain things, makes sense because there’s not that much space and with a guide you’d stay longer and hold up everyone else
We were the only ones going to Tutankhamen’s tomb, you had to pay extra, but I think it’s worth it, this picture is from inside his tomb, he probably was placed in a priest tomb because his wasn’t ready yet, he died very young and hadn’t started a tomb yet
Everywhere you had people wanting to do something, like take your pictures, and expect a tip, we’re getting used to it I guess
Lots of places are like this where you walk through a market, every one wants to sell you something, our guide told us that they will say: a dollar, only a dollar, but it would always be more than a dollar.
