You know, there was a Valley of Kings? Ya! It was a secret place where Kings of Egypt were buried so people wouldn't rob their tombs. It was a smart idea! But wait, where were the Queens buried? Did they have a secret place to be hidden too? Yes they did, it was called "the Valley of Queens". It was also known as Ta-Set-Neferu, meaning –"the place of the Children of the Pharaoh". It was located in Thebes, Egypt. There are between 75 and 80 tombs there. One tomb that was found there was Queen Nefertari. The other Queens were found in other secret places. They still haven't found Nefertiti's tomb yet, or at least they think they haven't. I know in this picture the "Valley of Queens" doesn't look so very royal or interesting as you think it would be but it's a "secret" place. Also, the wives of pharaohs were buried here too!
There is a Valley of the Queens, that is totally awesome. I did not know there was a place like that. I thought they were all buried in the Valley of the Kings. That is cool!
