The Secret of the Mountain: The Lost Pharaohs

For 3,000 years, the greatest Kings of Egypt—including Ramses the Great—vanished. Their tombs in the Valley of the Kings were empty, and the world thought they were lost forever.

The Hidden Path
In 1871, a local family in Luxor, the Abd el-Rassul family, stumbled upon a hidden shaft in the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. What they found was staggering: a secret chamber filled with over 40 royal mummies and piles of gold and jewelry. For ten years, they kept the secret, selling small artifacts to survive.

The Great Rescue
When the Egyptian authorities finally discovered the location in 1881, they witnessed a sight that will never be seen again. As the mummies were moved onto a boat to Cairo, thousands of villagers lined the banks of the Nile. The men fired shots in the air and the women wailed in grief, paying their respects to the ancient Kings as if they were still alive. The Pharaohs had finally returned.
