The Valley of the Queens

This is the Valley of the Queens...very similar to the Kings, but this is where the wives, sons, and daughters were buried. Still the same desert, still very hot.

I was able to see the tomb of Ramses II's 9 year old son and a 5 mo. old fetus mummy. The bones were still mummified-it was very interesting and morbid. The tombs were very colorful and had lots of heiroglyphics on them. They were much brighter in color than the Kings tombs.
