Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During Egypt’s New Kingdom (1539-1075 B.C.), the valley became a royal burial ground for pharaohs such as Tutankhamun, Seti I, and Ramses II, as well as queens, high priests, and other elites of the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties.
Detailed explanation-2: -By that time, the ancient Egyptians no longer used pyramids as tombs. They preferred more hidden burial places for their rulers. They wanted to prevent robbers from finding the treasures that were placed in the tombs. There are more than 60 tombs in the valley.
