The Valley of the Kings

"Saleh said that the Tomb of Ramses VI was by far the best
and you could tell by the line to get in that he was probably right
We waited about 30 minutes to get in"

The tomb of Ramesses VI

"Anyway we finally got in to the tomb and it was well worth the wait
It was amazing!
The photos I got don’t really do any of them justice
but the walls were two stories high and just completely covered with hieroglyphics,
each about the size of a hand in straight lines and in lovely colours
The ceilings were painted too and some of the floors
I hung around in there a bit longer than the other ones"
