Description: This course will explore the royal cemeteries of ancient Thebes, located on the west bank of the Nile opposite the modern town of Luxor. Beginning with the ancestral tombs of the Eleventh Dynasty, trace the developments that culminated during the New Kingdom (circa 1550–1070 BCE), in the architectural and artistic marvels of the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens. Follow the footsteps of early explorers, and conclude with a look at recent archaeological discoveries.
