ANCIENT EGYPTIAN CITY. Let's explore a more than 3000-year-old settlement located on Luxor's west bank. The village of Deir el-Medina was home to the ancient Egyptian masons, craftsmen, and artisans responsible for the decoration and construction of almost all New Kingdom tombs. During the time span of 400 years - between the sixteenth century BCE and the eleventh century BCE this planned settlement was growing and in its heyday (during the Ramesside period) housed around 400 people.
The village was commissioned by the 18th dynasty pharaoh Amenhotep I and consecutively supported by his successors; among them the most famous kings of the New Kingdom: Hatshepsut, Tutankhamun, Seti I, Ramesses the Great or Ramses III.
Let's take a sneak peak into the latest archaeological discovery: the Lost Golden City discovered by Zahi Hawass and his team of archaeologists in Aprli 2021.
Let’s get inside ancient Egyptian tombs of workers (beautifully adorned with some of the most important gods of the ancient Egyptian pantheon: Osiris, Nut, Anubis, Isis and Nephthys), see the pyramids in Luxor, and learn more about Deir el-Medina’s layout as well as everyday lives of the ancient Egyptian middle-class.
Let’s get to know more about the ancient history, beliefs, and architecture of this wonderful place!
Explored in February 2022.
