Centuries of Pharaohs were buried in the famous Valley of Kings, including the mighty general Thutmose III, the last of the great Pharaohs, Ramses III, and of course, the child Pharaoh Tutankamen. The inhabitants of Deir el-Medina constructed many of the tombs in the Valley. Skilled tomb-builders sometimes lived in isolated communities so that the secrets of the tombs they built could be kept safe.
