Question

ARE THE VALLEY OF THE KING TOMBS THE ONLY TOMBS LEFT THAT STILL HAVENT BEEN EXCAVATED IN EGYPT???

OR ARE THERE OTHER TOMBS BESIDES VALLEY OF THE KINGS THAT HAVENT BEEN EXCAVATED IN EGYPT??

Answer 1

Probably not. there are still many that are undiscovered.

Answer 2

I have just come back from Egypt and visited the Valley of the Kings. There are many undiscovered tombs, Rameses had hundreds of children but the tombs of just a handfull have been discovered. Near the Valley of the Kings is the Valley of the Queens where it is believed tombs lay undiscovered. One of the problems nowadays is that there are strict rules governing the excavation of tombs. No ultrasound or heavy digging can be used in case it damages whatever may lie beneath the surface.
Interestingly, the tomb of Hatchetsup ( a female who styled herself as a King) has not been found yet although her temple is pretty amazing.

Answer 3

It is located at the south in the city of Luxor. Luxor was the capital of Egypt during the New Kingdom at the time of the Pharaohs. The tombs then were not pyramids like before. The location has a limestone mountain with the tombs of the kings carved in it. An example is the tomb of the famous Tut Ankh Amun. There is also the valley of the Queens and the valley of the nobles.

Answer 4

There are many tombs in Egypt that were not found and still they are searching. They recently found in the early 90's the temple of Aten in middle Egypt a town in the 18th Dynasty called Akataten. Named for the first monotheist of Egypt and Pharoah of both upper and lower Egypt, Amenhotep IV, who changed his name to Akhnaten, he was married to the well known famous Queen Nefertiti, whose famous bust sits in the Louvre in Paris, after they retrieved it from Hitlers desk after he stole it. The valley of the Queens which is just a little way past the valley of the Kings is still not completed in discovery. However they still have not found their sarcophogi, and many others as well. Who in fact had converted to the one G-D theory for 20 years may have hidden their bodies away from their tombs.

Answer 5

Cairo: A team of Australian archaeologists has unearthed a 5000-year-old necropolis with 20 well-preserved tombs in a poor neighbourhood of Helwan, just outside Cairo, Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities has announced.

In the summer of 2000-01, Dr Kohler and a team from the Australian Centre for Egyptology at Macquarie University also discovered six previously unknown tombs dating back to 3000BC at Helwan.

"In Egypt today, discovering unexcavated tombs of such an early date is very rare," Dr Kohler said at the time. "After four years of tough fieldwork we have finally hit pay dirt."

So, it seems they will go on find new places and new tombs.

Answer 6

They have excavated all the known tombs and also many that are NOT in the Valley of the Kings. IF they find them they excavate them, why not?

Answer 7

Very little has been done in the valley of the queens.

Answer 8

Most archaeologists predict that what has been discovered so far is only about 20-30% of what is yet buried under the desert sands and under modern cities.

Answer 9

yes,lots and there always finding more

Answer 10

there are other valleys..
