| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Note: Valley of the Kings - Narrow gorge, Upper Egypt, near the ancient city of Thebes. It is the burial site of nearly all of the kings (pharaohs) of the 18th-20th dynasties (1539-1075 BC) ... The valley is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site (designated 1979) centred on Thebes.--Britannica Concise Encyclopedia, Credo Reference Database. Note: Tutankhamun (c. 1336 - 1327 BC) King, Eighteenth Dynasty, New Kingdom ... Tutankhamun's tomb (KV 62) was almost intact when it was opened in 1922. Its contents indicate the splendour which attended even a relatively unimportant King of Egypt in death as in life.--Who's Who in Ancient Egypt, Routledge, Credo Reference Database. Note: Ramesses VI ... (also written Ramses and Rameses) was the fifth ruler of the Twentieth dynasty of Egypt who reigned from 1145 BC to 1137 BC ... His royal tomb, KV9, is located near Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings.--Wikipedia. |
