Tombs in Thebes, Valley of the Workers
The Valley of the Workers is the site of a complete village for the skilled craftsmen and laborers working on the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens and possibly even the Valley of the Nobles. Small, modest houses are packed against winding streets in this little valley, and the workers built and decorated their own tombs here. This is the necropolis of Deir el-Medina.
Some of the tombs have small, steep-sided pyramids above them, and all are decorated. Only four are open, but the quality of work shows that these were skilled artists, and they put as much effort into the decoration of their small family tombs as they did for the glory of the pharaoh they worked for.
