ABSTRACT
T H E Valley of the Tombs of the Kings ... "Thevery name," wrote Howard Carter, "is full ofromance, for of all Egypt's wonders there is none, I suppose, that makes a more instant appeal to the imagination. Here, in this lonely valley-head, remote from every sound of life, with the 'Horn', the highest peak in the Theban hills, standing sentinel like a natural pyramid above them, lay thirty or more kings, among them the greatest Egypt ever knew."
