The Kingdom of the period, in the Pharaohs learned the lessons of previous generations are, decided not to stand tall pyramid tomb construction, but rather choose the Lonely Mountain built underground tomb China luxury.

The first to break the traditional is a famous figure-Morse of the people all the time.

In ancient Egypt's mausoleum in common to this type of "you're dead, will revive the spirit without body.

You then this is like a dream. "And Pharaoh is to be reversed, the Tomb built for luxury and subtle. Tomb into, the tomb of all will be built. So painfully, Pharaoh who still can't get the Sabbath. More furtive, the more excited looters of adventurous and imaginative, because of the huge wealth is sacrificed to stand at thief all risks, paid to play all the hard work of the best reward. Liu Huan, thousands of years, has never stopped to stand at activities, each tomb was destroyed.

And not just in Egypt, stand, is an international disaster, this may be because it is too high profits.

In China, could it not. Wei emperor Cao Pi said: "since ancient times and today, no country is not dead, it is also the tomb of excavations. "Points to stand at the universal phenomenon. According to incomplete statistics, China bathes-tombs stolen rate of 90%.

We ride in the car battery, Liu Huan grasp all time presented to us. He pointed to the middle of the Hill tells us that it is this natural pyramid roof before Pharaoh chose here as the Sabbath. Although many of the graves here, block 12, but due to the opening to the inside of the structure and content of the painting is almost exactly the same, so visit 3 seat was enough. In fact, a ticket will only allow you into three tomb.

We visited the first grave that Rameses VII's Tomb, the second grave that Rameses VI's Tomb, the Tomb No. 6 Rameses IX's Tomb.

Each tomb there is a sign outside of the master of the art out of the tomb of the chart. Liu Huan everywhere, were tells us about the Pharaoh's story and Vault murals. After speaking to repeat: it forbade photography.

Someone at the door tickets and give ticket checked perforated while monitoring whether the breach in tourists tomb photography.

Pity the poor did not shoot the technique to get rid of digital machine Flash function, the result reveals himself, called hidden in tourists in staff caught red-handed, the camera was confiscated.
