Egyptian Secrets of the Afterlife
The well-preserved tomb of Seti I (son of Ramesses I and father of Ramesses II), located in the Valley of the Kings, was found in 1817 and featured colorful paintings and bas-reliefs that provided valuable insight into the everyday life and all-important death rituals of the ancient Egyptians. Deep beneath Seti’s tomb lies another tunnel currently under excavation by respected Egyptian archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass.
