How many tombs are in the Valley of the Kings?

Archaeologists have discovered more than 60 royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings, dating mainly to Egypt’s New Kingdom period (16th–11th century BCE).
These tombs belong to famous rulers such as Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and Seti I, as well as queens, princes, and high nobles associated with the royal court.

How many bodies were found in the Valley of the Kings?

Many royal mummies were originally buried inside the Valley of the Kings.
However, to protect them from ancient tomb robbers, priests later moved numerous royal bodies to hidden caches, as evidenced by the famous discovery at Deir el-Bahari in the 19th century.

As a result, only a small number of mummies were found in their original tombs, while many of Egypt’s greatest pharaohs were rediscovered together in secret burial chambers for safekeeping.
