Deir El Medina Village
Date Added: 8th Jun 2022
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Egypt (Upper Egypt (South))
Visited: Yes on 27th Apr 2022. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 5
Deir El Medina Village submitted by AlexHunger on 7th Jan 2006. This is the Village of the workers that built the tombs in the valley of the kings and queens. In the New Kingdom, the pharaos prefered stealth for their tombs and kept tight security on the west bank of the nile. A separate caste of artisans lived there just to built the tombs and no one else was allowed there in order to avoid tomb robbers. Even the Pharao only visited the west bank twice, once to chose the location of his tomb, and once to move in... permanently.
