The Valley of the Kings
The valley of the kings is a royal burial ground for King tut, Seti I, Ramses II, and also many kings and high priests. As we know so far, the valley contains 63 tombs. It is located on the west bank of the Nile, directly across the water from Thebes
include furniture.
The next morning Ranofer woke up and Gebu was leaving for his robbing trip to the valley of the tombs. It was so early that the stars were still out and Ranofer heard the gate click shut as Gebu left the house. Ranofer planned to follow him. Gebu was not getting away this time. Ranofer went to the store room, got some breakfast and left. It was a perfect day for them to rob a tomb because of the festival there was no one in town. When Ranofer was on a rocky trail and there was nowhere to hide, Wenomen came close to finding Ranofer but Ranofer got lucky. Ranofer followed them all the way to the desert where the tomb was. While Ranofer was following them he saw some kind of bird and got scared. He tried to hide but the only place was the tomb.While he was doing this Hequet and the Ancient were at the festival and realized he was gone and went after him.

This book explains things about egyptian tombs and some of the punishments for people who robbed the tomb. It also had some facts about what the Egyptians believed.
The Flax Plants were a type of plant used in ancient egyptian life to create clothing that is strong and dries faster than cotton and it's been found in many tombs that has been made in ways that were very advanced for this era.

Research on names for our egyptian characters. Gives a long list of traditional Egyptian names.

This shows how common workers would steal the gold of pharaohs if they were one of the workers for the tomb
Adam-Summarizer-In this chapter,during the festival,Ranofer tracks down Gebu and Wenamon. He believes that they are getting their wealth because they are tomb robbers. He follows them and believes that they are going on this day because of the distractions the festival holds.While Ranofer is gone he finds out that today Gebu and Wenamon are actually going to rob someones tomb! He finds this out and wants to stop them. Meanwhile,Hequet and the Ancient are going along and see a big vulture in the distance.

I think that Jarvis does a good job of incorporating historical facts into the story using setting. Jarvis describes places like the goldsmith shop, the stonecutting shop, the street of the crooked dog, the palace, the desert, and the tomb. The author talks about the coffins and the jewels and treasure that filled Queen Tiy's parents tomb. This is also presented in the goldsmith's and stonecutting shops and the occupations are historically accurate also. The author does a great job describing the palace of Queen Tiy describing the magnificent room and the balcony.

I think Jarvis did a better job incorporating evidence into the Characters. By using social class, Egyptian names, and jobs that corresponded to their socio-economic status, the characters were very realistic. While the cities were named and described correctly, it just wasn't enough to give the deep accurate feel the Static and Dynamic characters all had.
