Original Narrative: Entrance to the Valley of the Tombs of the Kings :  On the left or western shore of the Nile stood the Necropolis, the city of the dead. The Libyan chain lying behind it has been compared to a piece of cork, a pumice -stone, a sponge, and a honeycomb ; and certainly its eastern declivity, and every cross valley that intersects it, is pierced by openings in endless rows . Each of these leads into a tomb, and , besides these, thousands of graves, covered with dust and rubbish, are crowded together in the plain at the foot of the mountains. The principal groups of this vast cemetery are now named after the villages that have grown up among them (going from south to north )-Kurnet-Murrai, Abd -el-Kurnah, and el Assasseef. The famous valley of the Tombs of the Kings lies on the farther side of el Assasseef, in a transverse gorge of the range.   Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
