Luxor Western
Valley
The Western Valley, which is also known as the Valley of the Baboons after
the caches of mummified baboons that were found there, is a desolate but
stunningly beautiful canyon off the Valley of the Kings. The Valley is the
home of Meretseger, a local goddess whose name means "She who loves
Silence".
Despite the crowds flocking into the nearby Valley of the Kings, the silence
in this lonely place is palpable.
There are four known tombs here but three of them are closed. The closed
tombs include the unused tomb of King Akhenaten , the tomb of Amenhotep
(Amenophis) III and a large a tomb which appears to have been used mainly
as a storage area for other tombs. King Akhenaten's tomb is large and well
finished but despite this, he was buried in Amarna the place he chose to
be his new capital. The entrance to his tomb was recently used as a substitute
for King Tutankhamun's tomb in the BBC's 2005 production of the explorations
of Carter, Champollion and Belzoni.
Left: Akhenaten who never used his Valley tomb.
The open tomb is that of King Ay , which was discovered by Belzoni in 1816
but was opened to the public only in the 1990's. Ay's reign lasted only
four years (1339-1335 BC) and he was not of royal blood but became king
only by default after the death of the young King Tutankhamun who he has
often been accused of murdering. Recent studies indicate that that Tutankhamun
did not meet a violent death but the notion that he died of natural causes
is not as intriguing as having him part of a plot, so Ay is still likely
to continue to be unjustly accused.
This tomb could have originally been intended for Tutankhamun so that he
could be buried near his grandfather Amenophis III but his early death meant
that he was buried in Valley of the Kings instead.
The tomb is small compared with many of those in the neighbouring valley
and is noted only for its baboon paintings and its marsh Left: Images of
King Ay have been defaced but the marsh scenes are still clear.scenes.
The marsh scenes are unique in royal tombs as they are usually seen only
in the tombs of commoners, which in fact King Ay originally was. There are
twelve stylised ducks in this scene that could represent the hours of the
day and night, but this is only conjecture.
The walls also have copies of pages from the Book of the Dead to ensure
that the King can find his way through the Underworld and into eternal life
In the centre of the burial chamber is a well decorated sarcophagus, which
had been badly damaged and was removed from the tomb for restoration in
the latter part of the nineteenth century and was only replaced a century
later.
All the images of Ay suffered vandalism in ancient times by someone who
knew where his tomb was. Perhaps this was done by King Horemheb his successor
or by the Priests of Amun as a backlash of animosity towards King Akhenaten
for whom Ay had acted as a minister. Akhenaten, was Tutankhamun's father
and he introduced a new monotheistic religion into Egypt which had would
have justifiably angered Amun's Priests. When Amun was restored as the principal
god, Akhenaten was reviled and many monuments to him and his supporters
were vandalised.
