It has been known since antiquity,the wonderful decorations include colourful painted sunken reliefs featuring the traditional ritual texts (Litany of Ra, Book of Gates etc) and Ramses before the gods. Unusual here are the secular scenes, in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showing foreign tributes, such as highly detailed pottery imported from the Aegean, the royal armoury, boats and, in the last of these side chambers, the blind harpists that gave the tomb one of its alternative names: ‘Tomb of the Harpers’
4. Tomb of Ramases IX
Tomb of King Ramesses lX was the third pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. His name prior to assuming the crown was Amonhirkhopshef.

The tomb has so much colour and detail even the ceiling above the sarcophagi with its goddess Nut stretching across the space. The sarcophagus is one of the largest in the valley, even though some of the paintings have deteriorated this is one of the most decorated.

In the or simply in its falcon form of the new deity, began to be placed in tombs to accompany and protect the dead on their journey to the West of Luxor .Tomb 8, which is located in the Valley of the Kings, was the burial place of the Pharaoh Merneptah and is the model of royal tombs Merneptah was a son of Ramesses II and Queen Isis-Nofret.the tomb was discovered by Howard Carter in 1903. Of coursethere is a material decrease in the number of lateral rooms, and a dramatic increase in the height of the corridors and rooms. He did away with the jogged axis used since the time of Horemheb and instead built the entire tomb on a single axis. Also, for the first time, the entrance was made considerably wider than earlier tombs .

Egypt, where hard sell and fraudulent business practices are rampant, is a difficult country for Japanese people to get into, but meeting Hassan made it a very comfortable trip that will become a lifelong treasure.
Hassan can't speak Japanese, but he speaks very easy-to-understand English slowly. He can read pictograms and gives a very enjoyable explanation of Egyptian history. But be careful, if you don't listen carefully, you'll be asked a quiz later with a prize!
He provides support when you need it at just the right distance, yet doesn't make you feel like you're being pushed around by the tour schedule, so we can promise you a free and relaxed tour.
Thank you Hassan!

I recommend this tour highly as we enjoyed it and everything was taken care of. I enjoyed Karnak Temple a lot and my wife was very impressed by the tombes in the valley of the kings.
