  • Egypt Aswan Governorate Aswan

    Aswan Governerate in Egypt

    Aswan was known as ‘Sonu’ in ancient Egyptian times, meaning market, as it was a trading centre for caravans coming to and from Nubia. In the Ptolemaic era, it was called ‘Sin’ and the Nubians called it ‘Yaba Swan’. It was also known as the Land of Gold because it served as a great treasure or tomb for the kings of Nubia who lived there for thousands of years. Before the migration, Aswan's borders extended from Asna in the east to the border of Sudan in the south, and its inhabitants were Nubians, but after the Islamic conquest of Nubia, some Arab tribes settled there.

Tombs of The Nobles Luxor history

The pharaonic royalty is the exclusive focus of nearly all we see of ancient Egypt today. Because of their enormous scale and the fact that they are actually cut out of stone, the gigantic architectural projects that the Egyptian pharaoh commissioned throughout the civilization's history have fared far better over time than other ancient relics.

However, out of the rest of the sites in the West Bank, the Tombs of the Nobles are of special interest as they are quite the opposite. These groups of tombs that are cut into the rocky slope between the Ramesseum and the Temple of Hatshepsut all belong to the same class of officials, namely, faithful functionaries, governors and other inferior noblemen.

In the temples and royal mortuaries found around Luxor, one may find the dominant themes of conquering kings and the images of everlasting life inscribed in stone, somewhat overbearing. In case of temple fatigue setting in, it would be wise to consider a visit to the Tombs of the Nobles (commonly referred to as the Worker's Village). 
More modest portrayals of daily life and the tasks these bureaucrats performed may be found in these graves. The realistic portrayals of nature and commonplace issues are energizing and offer some further understanding of what ancient Egypt may have truly seemed like.

Because they attract relatively few visitors, the Tombs of the Nobles are not as clearly identified as the bigger monuments and royal tombs on the West Bank. This can make it a little more challenging to see them without a guide, but it's still a pleasant diversion from the busier locations in the Valley of the Kings and larger temple complexes.

With its magnificent wall murals that provide insight into ancient Egyptian beliefs and rituals, the Tomb of Ra Moza is a work of art. In addition to learning about the significance and meaning of these ancient paintings, visitors may be in awe of their beauty and artistry.

In the year nineteen forty-one, an archeologist from France by the name of Bernard Bruyère uncovered the tomb of Ra Moza, which is located near Luxor, west of the Nile River. The tomb, among other things, contains beautiful wall paintings and intricate designs within the pieces of jewelry and vases.

The Tomb of Ra Moza is located in the Tombs of the Nobles, a necropolis complex on the west bank of the Nile River in Luxor, Egypt. The Tombs of the Nobles contain the burial sites of various high-ranking officials and nobles from ancient Egypt.

The Tombs of the Nobles in Luxor, also known as the Tombs of the Nobles of Thebes, are a series of ancient Egyptian tombs located on the west bank of the Nile River, opposite modern-day Luxor. These tombs were the final resting places of nobles, officials, and administrators who served the pharaohs during the New Kingdom period (approximately 1550-1069 BCE).

The Valley of the Kings is divided into eastern and western valleys. The eastern part is the most famous of the two, as the western valley contains few tombs, and the Valley of the Kings includes more than sixty tombs in total, in addition to twenty unfinished tombs that are no more than pits.
