Légende

'Valley of the kings' tombs at Thebes, Egypt', 1905. 'When the kings found that the pyramids no longer sufficed to protect the body of the royal occupant, they began to follow the example of their nobles and hew out tombs in the rock of the cliffs. The place they chose was this valley, and you can see the doors that form the entrances to their tombs. The custom began when the kings of the Empire took up their residence at Thebes.' Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted.
