Tomb of The Kings

posted by rvanleer on 7 December 2010 at 11:26

From 4BC these margnificent tombs weren't ever the final resting place of kings but you'd never know by the detail and care taken over the creation of the tombs. The dignitaties must have had a lot of money to make people think they were kings for so long!

Tomb of the Kings

posted by jwhittier on 5 November 2010 at 12:59

No kings were buried here, but clearly rich people were! Hewn out of the rocks some of these caves are tiny but some are huge and beautiful in a way with doric arches, columns and frescoes. Entry is a bargain too!

Tombs of the Kings

posted by JillJam on 6 July 2009 at 04:48

This historical (UNESCO) site is so unique and really interesting. The tombs were carved in the 4th century BC, out of solid rock. The result is stunning. The primitive architecture is gorgeous- a wonderfully preserved historical structure. A must for the history buff or cultural traveler.
