 Agriculture and the Nile

The Nile's floods made agriculture possible in Ancient Egypt (Shaw, 2000). Farmers would plant crops in the fertile soil, and the annual floods would bring water and nutrients.

King Tutankhamun's Tomb

King Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter (Carter, 1923). The tomb remained intact because it was hidden away in the Valley of the Kings.

When Carter discovered the tomb, he found thousands of artifacts, including golden jewelry, furniture, and the iconic golden mask.

The Nile’s Predictable Floods 

The floods came every year around the same time. This predictability helped farmers plan when to plant and harvest their crops.  Illustration of Nile floods and farmers working

King Tutankhamun – The Boy King 

King Tutankhamun, also called King Tut, was a young pharaoh who ruled Egypt about 3,300 years ago. His tomb is famous because it was found almost completely intact.  Portrait of King Tut (Miller, 2015)

Why King Tut’s Tomb Stayed Intact  

Tut’s tomb remained untouched because it was hidden well inside the valley, and grave robbers didn’t find it for many years. His burial was also protected by magic spells. Photograph of Tut’s tomb or tomb entrance (Roberts, 2018)

The Valley of the Kings 

The Valley of the Kings was a special place where pharaohs and nobles were buried. It was away from the busy cities to keep the tombs safe from thieves. Aerial view of the Valley of the Kings (Walker, 2017).

Why Create the Valley of the Kings?

Ancient Egyptians believed that the pharaohs needed to be buried in a special place so they could live happily in the afterlife. The valley helped protect their tombs. Illustration of a tomb in the valley (Martin, 2018).

Unique Features of the Valley of the Kings. 

Tombs in the valley were carved deep into the rock and decorated with pictures and spells to help the pharaohs in the afterlife. Inside view of a tomb with paintings (Davis, 2019).
