وادي الملوك

مقبرة وادي الملوك واسرار ملوك الفراعنة الجزء الثاني

 وفي مطلع القرن العشرين، حصل المحامي الأمريكي ثيودور ديفيس على إذن بالبحث واستكشاف المنطقة من الحكومة المصرية، ونجح فريقه بقيادة عالم المصريات البريطاني إدوارد راسل أيرتون في اكتشاف العديد من المقابر الملكية وغير الملكية (بما في ذلك المقبرة 43، المقبرة 46 والمقبرة 57). وعثروا على دليل على مقبرة عصر العمارنة في المقبرة 55، ثم استخرجوا رفات توت عنخ آمون المدفون من المقبرتين مقبرة 54 ومقبرة 58 وأعلنوا انتهاء التنقيب في وادي الملوك إلى الأبد ولا توجد آثار أخرى. أو المقابر يمكن العثور عليها في هذا الكتاب الذي أعده ديفيس NF Seh ونشره عام 1912 تحت عنوان مقابر حورمحب وتوت عنخ آمون .
بعد وفاة ديفيس في أوائل عام 1915، مُنح جورج هربرت (إيرل كيرنرفون الخامس) امتياز البحث والتنقيب في وادي الملوك وعين هوارد كارتر رئيسًا لفريقه من المستكشفين، وبالفعل تمكن الفريق من العثور على مقبرة توت عنخ آمون الحقيقية والمعروفة بالمقبرة 62 في نوفمبر من عام 1922.،

واستمرت العديد من البعثات الكشفية في أعمال التنقيب والبحث حتى الآن وأضافت الكثير من المعلومات والحقائق عن هذه المنطقة حتى جاء مشروع تخطيط طيبة عام 2001 وقام بوضع عدد من اللوحات الإرشادية التي توفر الكثير من المعلومات وخرائط المقابر المفتوحة

KV57: مقبرة حورمحب
The first tombs were constructed within the cracks above the slopes of the stone collapses and below waterfalls that were previously fed by rainwater (e.g. cemeteries Cemetery 34 and Cemetery 43), and as this area was exhausted, the tombs began to be built on the valley itself and gradually returned to the slopes again. When the flood deposits began to fill the valley floor, this theory is evidenced by the finding of two cemeteries; cemetery 62 and cemetery 63 built on the valley floor.
The tombs were designed as a long descending corridor engraved into the rocks, penetrating one or more corridors (similar to the journey of the sun god toward the underworld) and ending at the burial chamber. Initially, these corridors spin at least 90 degrees once during their march toward the burial chamber (such as the cemetery). The burial chamber was cartouche-shaped, especially in the more ancient and early tombs constructed in the Valley of the Kings (this can also be seen inside the tomb of Thutmose IV). This design was known in the construction of the tombs as the “curved axis” system. The completion of the buried mummy fills the top part of the corridor At the end of the Amarna period, the “curved axis” system of tomb design began to be abandoned, and engineers began to gradually design more straight graves relying on the “jogged axis” system in the central part of the tomb. (The tomb of 57 of Horemheb is an ideal example of this design and is one of the tombs that are open to visitors at times) until they adopted the system of "straight axis" in the construction of tombs for the late 19th and 20th dynasty kings (as in the two tombs) And the tomb of Ramses 6 The tilt angle of the corridors diminished so that the inclination disappeared completely in the tombs of the kings of the Twentieth Dynasty. Down the burial chamber and then added to these wells a religious magic color, where it was considered wells swallow the souls of thieves and thieves in the tombs of kings and also fool the soul of the deceased to his body, and although this well was not dug inside some of the tombs of the twentieth family, but the room that used to dig well Inside it has been found in those graves.
The tombs were rich in the contents inside, which are all the needs of the deceased, which will enable him a comfortable life in the afterlife, as the tombs included many magical mourning such as Alashbti as well as statues of the gods, and tombs included some of the possessions of the king in his first life (such as the pair of slippers of Tutankhamun) Beside some collectibles that are specifically designed to be buried with the king.
To number the tombs marks
KV is used before each number to encode the tombs discovered, and the letters abbreviated to the words 'Kings' Valley, meaning the Valley of the Kings in English, and tombs were numbered according to the priority of discovery; from the tomb of Ramses VII cemetery 1 or KV1 to cemetery 63 (KV63), which was discovered in 2005 regardless Many tombs have long been discovered except the graveyard 5, which was rediscovered in the 1990s (ignored by its original discoverers and considered not of major historical significance), while the WV literal used a number to encode the tombs discovered. In the western valley, although they follow the same system The numbering followed in the tombs of the Valley of the Kings (the two letters abbreviated for the words West Valley, meaning the Western Valley in English), although the abbreviation KV has been circulated to all the tombs discovered in the Valley of the Kings in two parts;
 There are some unoccupied tombs, others have not yet identified their owners in addition to some excavations in the ground that were used for storage. Most open tombs are located in the eastern valley of the Kings, where there are the most frequent tourists to this area in addition to the necessary facilities.

The eastern valley includes most of the tombs, which is most visited by tourists who come to the area.
