Program Notes:
There is no place on earth more mysterious than the Great Pyramids in Egypt. The Valley of the Kings was the location of more than 60 tombs constructed for kings and nobles. In modern times the valley has become famous for the discovery of the tomb of King Tutankhamun and is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. Now imagine yourself, back 3000 years ago, walking through the desert, the beat of ancient drums in the distance, growing louder and more intense… Welcome to The Valley of the Kings!
