The Ramesseum Temple is the funerary temple of Pharaoh Ramses II, who ruled Egypt for about 67 years (1279-1213 BC). The name or at least its French form, Ramesseum was coined by Jean Francois Champollion, who visited the ruins of the site in 1829.
From the Ramesseum to the Tombs of Nobles. The Tombs of Nobles are scattered in different areas in the west bank of Luxor, for example, Sheikh Abdel-Qurna and Khokha just opposite of the Ramesseum temple, Dra Abu El-Naga, and Asassif nearby Hatshepsut’s Temple and Qurent Maraei just opposite of the Colossi of Memnon.
From the Tombs of Nobles to Deir El-Madinah.
Around 4 km south of the Kings Valley lies the Valley of the Artisans or Deir El-Madinah. The region was given the name Deir El-Madinah or (City Monastery) when its temple was converted to a monastery. The town had been devoted to the Kings’ Valley craftsmen and their families.
