5 days in Egypt

King Valley and the Mummy

Split the Luxor Nile River, King Valley in the West Bank of the River, here referred to as a city of death.

Car despite the bare hills, all the way to the desolate, barren mountains, in half an hour to the Valley of the Kings.

There is also a barren, Valley of the wind, people turned out the cold. Pharaoh's tomb was built on the hillside of artificial caves, it is said that here already unearthed the tomb of the Pharaoh is 64 seats, we look at the four seat.

The deepest impression is the tomb of the King of tutankamen, and Tomb of Rameses II, King of tutankamen compared to walk along and looked crude and short passages, but the mausoleum of King Tutankamen famous Max, enter his mausoleum tickets are not included in travel ticket fees, each 100 EGP at their own expense.

The reason is the mausoleum of King Tutankamen is the only one without a King Valley looters stealing light funerary places here found buried with the goods up to 5000 pieces, most of all have been placed in Egypt National Museum, the most famous tutankamen gold masks some heavy 10.23 kg.

He died at the age of 18 years of his death, according to the latest version is that he found his arm a fracture, most likely fracture die slowly after infection.

The most fascinating was his mummy is still here.

Walk along the sides and top of fresco fade serious nor Rameses II's Tomb to the style. It is said that the mummy of tutankamen from three personal form outside the coffin and three layers of protection, each the size of just card into another, works pretty fine. Most of the people within a layer from the coffin-shaped building, heavy-carat gold 110.9 kg. We now see the mummies, only the head and foot exposed, separated by white cover.

I tried 10 essential balm（20G） to it managers, take a photo of mummies, but he rejected very strongly, "no," never.

Immediately, he had also to my hand and ask essential balm（20G）, I find it difficult to understand, since refused, how I would also like to try it. Later, I just want to understand that denial of tourists taking pictures is provided, it is Egypt believed Pharaoh's curse, for fear of disturbing the Pharaoh's soul to be punished, but essential balm（20G） is also something they really like, I didn't hesitate to give him one.
