2. ABU SIMBEL

Abu Simbel is the site of two ancient Egyptian temples. The site is located on the Nile River in southern Egypt. The pharaoh Ramses II built the two temples in the 1200BC. The main temple was dedicated to two sun gods.

3. THE VALLEY OF THE KINGS AND QUEENS

The Valley of the Kings was a great burial ground for the Pharaohs. After around 1500 B.C. the Pharaohs no longer built great pyramids in which to be buried. Instead, most of them were buried in tombs in the Valley of the Kings.

There are over 60 tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Unfortunately, most of the tombs were looted thousands of years ago and the treasure was stolen or removed by thieves.
