In the west branch of the southwest portion of the Valley of the Kings lies the tomb of Horemheb. This tomb was built at the end of the 18th dynasty and shows a shift in tomb architecture. This was one of the first tombs, in the transition between dynasties, to have a straight axis style vs the previously used bent axis. This means that the corridors and chambers were vertical not at an angle. Upon entering, there are three sloping corridors that lead to a well and pillared chamber. You continue deeper under the earth down two more corridors that lead to a chamber with entrance to the burial chamber. This tomb is filled with illustrations of deities and of scenes from the newly introduced Book of Gates. This is the first tomb to show this object
Tutankhamun’s tomb is thus unique as it was not initially intended for use by a Pharaoh. It is of much smaller scale to other Eighteenth Dynasty royal tombs, and contradicts the traditional structural design. The tomb’s location was also not usually associated with royal burials. The burial chamber walls were uniquely the only tomb walls decorated, and the tomb was preserved largely intact in near-original condition.
The tombs had two main functions. The first function was a place that provided an eternal resting place in which the body could lay protected from thieves and scavengers. The second function of the tomb was a place where cults and ritual acts could be performed to ensure eternal life (Taylor, 2001:136). The body of the person was buried along with their belongings in the tomb to ensure the individual had all the proper materials needed for the afterlife. The Egyptians usually did this because “Tombs were constructed to mirror aspects of the afterlife” (Olson, 2009). These tombs were not only a place where bodies of a deceased lay; it was also a place where rituals would take place. One ritual that was done on the bodies was the ‘Opening of the Mouth’. This was a burial ritual that “accompanied the placement of funerary goods in a tomb- and was a necessary step in the deceased’s rebirth” (Olson, 2009). One very important service that had to be done was the mummification process in which the removal of organs

He finds a interesting scroll with a room that appears useless, a store room he thought. But no, he realized. It is much more than a store room, “The little room in the tomb drawing, the one for the Pharaoh’s master of storehouses. It was no room at all. It was a passage like this disguised so that the workmen could hack it out without knowing…”. Although he did not find the goblet, he found yet another clue.
Although Hirohito was initially seen as a powerful man, his inability to make rational and justified decisions for his people caused greater harm than good for World War II.
What I have learned you say? I have learned so much at this school, more than I could’ve asked. Hickman Middle School is a special place, mainly because of the students and the teachers. Hickman is a small school, and the students are in the right mindset, a mindset to get to college and beyond. We see the examples of our teachers, and they encourage us to make ourselves better. I can’t think of a more fitter middle school that sends students into high school as rock stars. As for me, I’ve learned we need get ourselves to our potential by raising the bar, which is where teacher’s expertise is.

There were lots of issues that lead to the collapse of the relationship between Japan's government and its people. When Hirohito came into power, a universal male suffrage law had just passed, and political parties were near the height of their powers. At the same time their was, rising militarism, a degrading economy, and a series of political murders. This sparked a rise in pro-democracy supporters in Japan. As emperor Hirohito was the nation’s highest authority and commander-in-chief of the military. He took power and basically fired the country's prime minister in 1929. The next prime minister was shot and killed, and again in 1932 the next prime minister was assassinated by naval military officers who disagreed with a treaty limiting
This approach to the opening of the chamber demonstrates Carter’s caution that he took into the excavation of Tutankhamun’s tomb and the transportation of the contents that was inside it. Carter opened the burial chamber and when he did he was confronted by the golden walls and two large statues “So enormous was this structure (17 feet by 11 feet, and 9 feet high, we found out afterwards) that it filled within a little the entire area of the chamber” gives an accurate description of these statues and an accurate account of the amount of artefacts that were found in Tutankhamun’s tomb.
The shrine of Tutankhamun uncovers the burial customs of the New Kingdom Egyptians. The Canopic Shrine positioned on the east wall of the Treasury holds Tutankhamun's embalmed internal organs. A gold chest held four Canopic jars containing the dead pharaoh's internal organs in each jar. Undoubtedly, through the process of mummification, the embalmers must have removed the internal organs and preserved them in the Canopic jars, perhaps to be taken with the pharaoh to the next world. The third and innermost of three coffins of Tutankhamun is made of solid gold and is inset with semiprecious stones and coloured glass. It is covered with carved decorations and inscriptions inside and outside. It bears the names and epitaph of the deceased king and also protective texts. From this we discover the significance of the importance of the decoration of the mummy was, and the power the coffin was believed to hold. Originally, mummification was so expensive that it was a privilege enjoyed only by the Pharaoh and few nobles. Everybody else was given a simple grave burial in one of the vast cemeteries or "necropolises" of the time. But the promise of eternal life was so appealing that it wasn't long before other classes of Egyptians began signing up for mummification, too.
Valley of the Kings also known as "Valley of the Gates of the Kings" is the heart of many ancient burials. The site is located on the West Bank of the Nile river near Luxor. Dating back between 1539-1075 B.C. these burials contained the Egyptian royalty from Rameses ll down to the untouched tomb of Tutankhamen. Over 63 burial chambers were found here. (1) The royalty of the current time feared the safety of their burials, and buried them deep in the cliff sides.
The tomb of Tausert and Setnakht is one of the most unique tombs in the Valley of the Kings, as well as being one of the largest tombs in the valley.
