LIFE! PROSPERITY! HEALTH!

Economic strife, migrating peoples, and potential climate issues led to the decline of the Egyptian Empire. The Valley of the Kings was abandoned, and the mummies of kings from the 17th to 20th dynasties were reburied in a secret cache to protect them from tomb robbers.

This cache, discovered in the 19th century, contained the mummies of numerous kings, including those from the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties.

The discovery of the royal tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1881 revealed a complex story of mummy reburial and robbery. The mummies, stripped of their finery, were rewrapped and placed in new coffins, with the process spanning decades and involving multiple locations. The dockets found on the mummies provide valuable information about their identities and the reburial process.
