The Valley of the Kings was established as a royal burial site for pharaohs and powerful nobles during the New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt, around the 16th to 11th centuries BCE. It was chosen for its secluded location, providing a natural barrier against tomb robbers. The valley's geography allowed for the construction of elaborate tombs, which were intended to ensure a safe passage to the afterlife. This site reflects the Egyptians' beliefs in immortality and the importance of honoring their rulers in death.
