Tombs of the Nobles and the Workers

Near the Valley of the Kings are two other areas of tombs: those of the "workers" - really the foremen, etc, not apparently the day-laborers - in Deir el Medina - and that of the Nobles in Old Gournia. Both areas are very much worth visiting. Both are still being excavated - but see the tale of Old Gourna ...

Rekhmire's Tomb

Rekhmire was the vizier under Thuthmosis III and Amenhotep II, and resonsible for taxation, justice, foreign policy. The reliefs show tribute being brought to Egypt, including African animals, and a banquet involving lady musicians, men getting massages and women getting makeup applied. Charming!
